Slick suits, hip urban nightspots, and an over the top performance by Vince Vaughn make this rambunctious farce an enjoyable and unpredictable movie with some obligatory fist fighting.

A joyless experience with an often irritating, bland, and pointless movie.

Vaughn hits the bullseye as a strident, volatile jerk who can't keep his mouth shut. You never really like him, but you can't wait to see what he'll do next -- his missteps and offenses are so unbelievable you wince, but you can't look away.

Unfortunately, Vaughn repeatedly crosses the line between persuasively playing an obnoxious character and coming across as nerve-gratingly self-indulgent.

The same offbeat sensibility that informed Swingers is also evident here, except that unlike the 1996 film, which dealt with real issues, Favreau's new crime-comedy is plotless

Derek Adams Time Out Jun 24, 2006

If the film's too ready to go with the flow of Chris Doyle's handheld camerawork, and sometimes seems ad hoc, its spot-on attention to the faux pas of the moment certainly raises a smile.

The film isn't as clever as Swingers but it boasts enough witty dialogue to make it entertaining.

The plot seems to be nothing more than a translucent bridge to the next scene where Vaughn can run his mouth and Favreau can play off him as the longsuffering friend

As with 'Swingers' before it, the sparkling chemistry between Favreau and Vaughn is undoubtedly the highlight of 'Made'.

Well-written and well-acted, though your enjoyment will largely depend on how high your Vince Vaughn tolerance level is.

Margaret A. McGurk Cincinnati Enquirer Oct 15, 2002 3/4

The script is nicely seasoned with jokes and surprise twists (right up to a contrived sentimental ending), and the two lead actors plunge into their roles with contagious enthusiasm.

Made should be much funnier than it is, although I enjoyed the permanent fizzing of its humour on an internal level.

There's a not-so-subtle attempt at rekindling the charisma Favreau and Vaughn showed in Swingers, and for the most part the effort succeeds.

Sean Burns Philadelphia Weekly Jul 24, 2002

Most amazing is that Favreau not only keeps things hilarious even at their darkest, but he plays it all for keeps. There's not a "hip" or glib moment in the whole picture.

Doesn't know when to step on the brakes before it turns itself in to a one-note shtick movie.

Favreau and Vaughn retain the ad-libbed give-and-take that sparkled in "Swingers."

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Jun 20, 2002 3.5/5

The natural rhythms of the (largely improvised) script create characters and situations that are authentic, hilarious and engaging.

With both movies and TV constantly mining mob life for script fodder, Made never comes up with a new twist on the material.

This is a smart and funny movie with a surprisingly touching conclusion.
