I don't think I could dare say that this was as good or better than "Swingers", but it was very good in it's own right. It's also a little hard to compare them because they are such different movies, but if I had to say one is better than the other, than I would have to choose "Swingers".
I can see how many people would find this movie very infuriating because you want to cringe just about every time Ricky Slade (Vince Vaughn) opens his mouth. As I was watching the movie I kept thinking to myself "How can someone be this stupid?!?!" But then I realized that I actually know some people like that. I usually don't like movies that focus on such ignorant people as Ricky Slade (Vince Vaughn), but I thought this movie did it just right and for some reason I liked it.
After watching the film, I figured that if you liked "Swingers", you would like "Made", but I read some of the other reviews on this site and it seems that my assumption may be incorrect. But then again, I did say myself that they are two very different movies.
This movie isn't your typical comedy, this one is full of situational-comedy, and all about the interaction between the two main characters. So, if you like that sort of thing, I think you'll enjoy this film.
The only problem I had with the film is Sean Combs (a.k.a. Puff Daddy or P. Diddy or whatever he goes by these days). I'm sorry, I don't know what it is, but I can't stand the guy! Although, I will say he did a MUCH better job than I anticipated. But I would have enjoyed the film more if he wasn't in it.
Some things to notice in the film include:
Take a look at the license plate on the limo, it reads "DBLDN11". This is a reference to "Swingers", "Always Double Down on 11".
Also, one of the guys at the bachelor party (the guy paying the body-guard/pimp) in the beginning of the movie is Tom Morello, bassist of "Rage Against The Machine".
The little girl in the film, Makenzie Vega, is the same little girl in "The Family Man". She is so cute, especially the way she talks.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did and thanks for reading.
