Review of Made

Made (2001)
7/10
Funny, snappy would-be mafia movie
1 August 2001
Jon Favreu shows his talents for writing, directing, producing and acting all combined in Made, a movie that was in the making since, well, last year I guess (Favreu had a guest appearance last year on The sopranos, so this was inevitable).

He and his buddy Vince Vaughn (are these the same characters from Swingers I wonder, cause I didn't see the first one) are hired by they're boss (Peter Faulk) to go to New York to act as tough guys in any deals that come by from him. This sounds like a good idea, considering the cash value, except that the two buddies also get into as many fights as Beavis and Butt-Head.

Many of the laughs come by the way of good timing, lines and looks, and also having Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore is a good move. Overall, Jon has made a good movie. However, many people might be turned off to seeing this movie if they 1) don't like P.Diddy or Puffy or Diddly Puff or whatever his name is, and 2) if they dislike Vince Vaughn from his confrontation on the Daily Show some weeks ago (in real life, he seems like a bit of an a-hole). But still, these are just feebles outside the region of the movie, and think for fans of the cast and of the type of humor this film delivers, it's reccomendable. B+
