Watch Made For Free

Please don't spend money on this.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Yikes!Swingers is one of my favorite movies. This movie is completely void of all of the charming aspects of the previous film featuring Favreau and Vaughan. Another review put it best " Vince's character is a 90 minute alarm clock to the ear " and all of the interactions between the main characters will make your eyes roll so much you will be sore by the time this 90 minute offering hits credits. Language feels like Sopranos but is very over the top for the various things that occur throughout the film. Early 2000's films are the worst

Bobby Ricigliano (Jon Favreau)'s only ambition is to be a professional boxer despite his mediocre record. His lifelong friend Ricky Slade (Vince Vaughn) is a fast talking incompetent. Bobby guards his stripper girlfriend Jessica (Famke Janssen) during her gigs. They also do honest construction work for mob boss Max (Peter Falk). After Bobby hits a client for touching Jessica, Max reassigns him to a job in NYC. Bobby wants Jessica to quit but she can't depend on him to support her and her daughter. Bobby convinces Max for Ricky to join him. Max's partner in NY is Ruiz (P. Diddy).Vince Vaughn's obnoxious character is funny for awhile but eventually he starts to annoy me. The airline stewardess is probably the high point. It's a long ride down with diminishing returns. It's the same move every time. He keeps talking even though the other person is trying to stop. I'm not really annoyed by the antics as much as worn down by the repetition.

Jon Favreau wrote, directed, and starred in this very funny, very clever, well made film.I absolutely love this movie, and am sad that it never got the attention it truly deserves. It's an above average film that didn't get much exposure.All of the acting was great, and I enjoyed all of the different characters, but Favreau and Vince Vaughn were incredible. The scenes they were in together were hilarious and unforgettable. Neither of them disappointed me. A lot of people criticized Vince Vaughn because they thought his character was annoying. And he was! That was the point, he was extremely annoying, and extremely funny. He absolutely stole the show.The overall tone of this movie was gritty and real, which fit with a movie about criminals in New York City. There was never a dull moment, and it never got me bored.The only complaint I have about this film is the cussing. I'm not one to quiver after hearing an F bomb, but there are points in the movie, where it's used a couple times in a sentence repeatedly. It's not really that big a deal, but all I could think of. But if you don't enjoy cussing, that attribute of the film could turn you off.This movie is amazing, and I urge everyone to see it.

I saw 'Made' shortly after it was released on video back in 2002, and just recently again on Netflix. The first time, I had to turn it off because the Vince Vaughn character was just awful. This time around I managed to watch all the way through, and while I'm glad I did, I have to say that I still found Vince Vaughn to drag the entire film down around him. Yes, I know that he was supposed to be obnoxious and annoying. I realize that. But it was completely overboard. To the point that it actually caused the entire premise of the film to make less sense. It's briefly alluded early in the picture that Ricky (Vaughn) looked out for Bobby (Favreau) on at least one occasion when they were in high school, and therefore Bobby feels like it's his responsibility to now look out for Ricky. But really, that only takes you so far. It's not like Ricky saved his life, or did something really profound and selfless. Nothing that would justify the kind of unconditional loyalty that Bobby clearly must hold for Ricky in order to tolerate even five minutes in his company, much less the constant barrage of sheer stupidity and abhorrent behavior that he endures throughout the film. And it's not like Ricky shows a softer side in private when it's just the two of them, to at least provide a degree of sympathy and a bit of realistic justification for their relationship... No, he's just as bad when nobody else is around. And Bobby is best friends with him why again? He took him on that trip for what reason? That question is never sufficiently explained, and the film suffers greatly for it, because it's really the foundation for the films' whole premise. Had they reigned in the Vaughn character just a little bit, the whole thing would have made much more sense. But aside from that, the rest of the movie is fairly competent and enjoyable. I grew up in NYC and was in my early 20's when this was filmed and frequented most of the locations used, so it brought back some fond memories for me. Famke Janssen was very good as the irredeemable stripper/prostitute girlfriend, and the ending was bittersweet and somewhat unexpected. It's overall not the greatest film ever made, but worth watching.
