5.0 out of 5 stars the greatest movie without george lucas, July 16 2004
By 
This review is from: Made/Swingers (DVD)
George Lucas directed this epic masterpiece about a Russian poet and life during the Russian Revolution. With trains, planes and automobiles, this rip-roaring slugfest features some of the best boxing sequences you will ever see. Sly was really at his best. This film is a treasure. Vote Bush in November.

5.0 out of 5 stars "IF I WAS GAY I COULD GET LAID ON THE SUBWAY.", July 14 2004

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Made/Swingers (DVD)
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.(...)

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for Made, Aug 31 2002
By M.H. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Made/Swingers (DVD)
Gimme a break. Made is hot. I think Favreau did a great job writing, directing and starring. Vaughn is just plain awesome, as always.

Nah, it's not Swingers 2, but that's fine since I didn't really care much for Swingers. I just don't get all the people who are upset that they haven't made sequels to Pulp Fiction, or Swingers, or etc. I happen to like a little creativity and I welcome change.

Made is very original and funny, and I thought it was pretty dramatic too. The DVD is also packed with extra stuff, including genuinely funny outtakes. Favreau should be proud (and I think he is).

5.0 out of 5 stars Favreau rocks, Feb 15 2003
By Travis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Made/Swingers (DVD)
I don't know how anyone can rate "Made" at one star. That's just insulting. It's extremely well written, directed and acted. Peter Falk was a great touch. Great cameos and awesome dialogue. Swingers is a great accomplishment for a low budget movie. I think that our mega-budget american directors would really be hard pressed to put together such a complete and well rounded movie... I look forward to anything favreau is envolved in in the future.
