Reviews for Made
Top CriticIf the film's too ready to go with the flow of Chris Doyle's handheld camerawork, and sometimes seems ad hoc, its spot-on attention to the faux pas of the moment certainly raises a smile.
06/24/06
Top CriticWell-written and well-acted, though your enjoyment will largely depend on how high your Vince Vaughn tolerance level is.
10/30/02
The natural rhythms of the (largely improvised) script create characters and situations that are authentic, hilarious and engaging.
06/20/02
Favreau gives his film a curious final touch of earnestness, even sentimentality, but he gets away with it and Made swings funkily along.
01/26/02
Top CriticThere are very funny moments, and some wonderful dialogue, but the film's self-consciously serious moments sit uncomfortably with the buddy banter.
01/21/02
Top CriticSlick suits, hip urban nightspots, and an over the top performance by Vince Vaughn make this rambunctious farce an enjoyable and unpredictable movie with some obligatory fist fighting.
08/22/09
A joyless experience with an often irritating, bland, and pointless movie.
04/29/09
Vaughn hits the bullseye as a strident, volatile jerk who can't keep his mouth shut. You never really like him, but you can't wait to see what he'll do next -- his missteps and offenses are so unbelievable you wince, but you can't look away.
11/20/08
Unfortunately, Vaughn repeatedly crosses the line between persuasively playing an obnoxious character and coming across as nerve-gratingly self-indulgent.
08/06/08
Top CriticThe same offbeat sensibility that informed Swingers is also evident here, except that unlike the 1996 film, which dealt with real issue, Favreau's new crime-comedy is basically plotless and not very funny either.
08/22/06
A picture that may not end up with the fervent following of its flashier predecessor, but one that merits a viewing.
12/06/05
Swingers fans beware.
05/14/03
The film isn’t as clever as Swingers but it boasts enough witty dialogue to make it entertaining.
05/13/03
The plot seems to be nothing more than a translucent bridge to the next scene where Vaughn can run his mouth and Favreau can play off him as the longsuffering friend
03/19/03
As with 'Swingers' before it, the sparkling chemistry between Favreau and Vaughn is undoubtedly the highlight of 'Made'.
02/13/03
The script is nicely seasoned with jokes and surprise twists (right up to a contrived sentimental ending), and the two lead actors plunge into their roles with contagious enthusiasm.
10/15/02
As witty as Favreau's dialogue is and as engaging as the look and tone he gives the film are, I think what's most admirable is how generous he is with his cast.
09/10/02
Made should be much funnier than it is, although I enjoyed the permanent fizzing of its humour on an internal level.
09/09/02
There's a not-so-subtle attempt at rekindling the charisma Favreau and Vaughn showed in Swingers, and for the most part the effort succeeds.
