"IF I WAS GAY I COULD GET LAID ON THE SUBWAY."

Vince Vaughn is on a roll. I cannot think of a single bad movie he has ever made. "Made" is his very best. He is absolute genius in this spoof on gangster films, but so is everybody else. Jon Favreau plays his straight man, as usual, and is at his laconic best, but check out "Puff Daddy" Combs as some kind of gang leader in New York. Combs almost steals this show. In fact, everybody in every scene steals the show throughout - the fat black guy who is Combs' right hand man, the Scottish drug merchant (the "Red Dragon"), and how about Peter Falk as a smarmy L.A. Mob guy?
This flick has everything, including backstory and character development. Vaughn and Jon played football at Hollywood High but blew the Fairfax game because Jon got caught stealing, but Vince took the heat, so there is a reason for their loyalty to each other. Jon's girlfriend is a stripper who hooks on the side, but Jon refuses to see it. He gets a gig through stripper entrepreneur Falk - go to New York because they need some "strong arm guineas." The plane ride is insane with Vaughn screwing up and breaking every rule set before them. In the Apple he just goes off the deep end in a world of laughs, spoofs, hilarity and laconic irony. In the end, Vaughn's alcohol- and sleep-deprived paranoia saves their lives, and upon return to L.A. the girlfriend is revealed as a coke whore. Jon has a heart of gold whern he "adopts" her beautiful daughter, and Vince now seems to have grown up, just a little.
This is a cult classic. It should be up there with "Old School", "Swingers", "Animal House", "Caddyshack" - you name it.(...)

If you are a Vince Vaughn or Jon Favreau fan, you have to see this movie. I bought this as a gift for a Vince Vaughn fan who had never heard of this movie. They loved it!
Just a really funny movie.

The Bottom Line:
A more mature (and better) comedy than Swingers, Made is a must-see for anyone who liked Favreau and Vaughn's earlier comedy and worth checking out for casual moviegoers as well.

It's interesting to see the wide range of reviews of Made.
Personally, I liked it more than Swingers. I haven't laughed so many times during a movie for years. It also has a sweet side, the final two scenes are as powerful as you'll see.
I think people expect too much. This isn't Citizen Kane, but you know what...Citizen Kane was boring. This is dumb, fun and full of guns.
