hyped garbage

Absolutely the worst movie.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The Divide in this Movie is those who find Vince Vaughn's Character Either Annoying and Intolerable and those that Think it is Funny. There is no Doubt that it is Irritating, but that is the Point. It is an Amusing, Over the Top Demented Take on the Low Level Mob Type and Obnoxious, but Lovable Buddy that Without Doubt Propels most of the Movie on its Quirky Road to Redemption.It is a Fun Film and a Playful Take on the Mob Comedy with Cameos from a lot of the Sopranos Cast and there is some Good Bits along the Way. There is Enough to Grab a Hold of and it Hardly Loses its Appeal because it is so Full of Interesting Characters and Offbeat Amusements. There are Word Plays and Slapstick, Irony and Irresistible Ill Fitting People Trying to Fit In and Force Situations that can be quite Edgy. Again, if by the Mid Point Vaughn's Ricky gets Under Your Skin, all is Lost. If not Buckle Up and Enjoy this Off Center Movie for what Charm it Exudes, and there is Plenty of it.

Trying to catch lightning in a bottle once is hard enough, twice is darned near impossible. I liked "Swingers", I thought the balance was pretty good and that made Vince Vaughan effective in his annoyance. "Made" is not as well balanced with Vaughan. It is true you wouldn't have much of a story without his character (a gold medal screw up) but then in order to get the story you have to suffer through a thoroughly overdone taste of Vaughn's idiotic character.I gave 3 stars because there are cast members that redeem parts of this movie and make it thoroughly enjoyable. Peter Falk does a fantastic turn as the lower level crime boss, and even give Vaughn the slightest taste of what I should expect most of the audience would like to give him...short of some violent and brutal death within the first third of the movie. Famke's 'stripper girlfriend' yes is a stereotype portrayed, but she does it awfully well. Special bonus points for getting Michael O'hara to show up in this.And I am sure if you actually like Vaughn's annoying frenzy combined with a humongous yet very fragile ego, then you'll absolutely enjoy this movie.

This flick wasn't as cool as Swingers. Vince Vaughn is put in the weak / dumb guy role, and that isn't his strength. Why does he have a fake gun at one point? We want Vince to be the mile-a-minute chatter box who is joking with everyone, sassing friends, and sweeping girls off their feet (think Swingers or Wedding Crashers). But it's cool in it's off-beat way and has it's moments. It's great to see Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn together again. What you really want is a Swingers 2, but that kind of uniqueness is hard to repeat. Made is definitely worth a rental. Speed DVD it maybe (2x speed with high pitched audio if your DVD supports it).

Just that: Painful. Forcing myself to watch the entirety of this flick was like trying to pull out my own teeth with a pair of pliers. Vaughn's character's dialog was unbelievably obnoxious; I kept turning down the volume just to get through it with out actually turning off the player. While, every now and then, an actual action-or-comedy-spiced plot would momentarily surface, the remaining 90-percent was a never-ending husband-and-wife bickering between the two main male characters. Not a light banter as between Crystal and Hines, but a creepy, juvenile dialog-cum-slap-fest. Maybe I just don't understand what the write/director were after, but.. I found it boring! boring! boring!
