Made	comment	Bobby (Jon Favreau) is a down-trodden amateur boxer who spends nights escorting his stripper girlfriend Jessica (Famke Janssen). Unfortunately, whenever a client gets fresh with the girl, Bobby gets rough with the client, so his boss decides to let Bobby into his criminal enterprises. Bobby is dispatched to New York City to participate in a drop. As usual, Bobby takes the opportunity to help out his deadbeat best friend Rickie (Vince Vaughn). The pair's tumultuous relationship and clueless attempts to be New York gangsters carry most of the plot.This 2001 film was Favreau's directorial debut, and was largely marketed as a Spiritual Successor to his and Vaughn's previous work on Swingers.

Made / int_121476bd	comment	The Millstone: Rickie. He plays the part so well that it makes the film teeter between hilariously painful and too hard to watch.

Made / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Of the type of fast-talking, ladies man character Vaughn played in Swingers. As Vaughn's character fails to charm a stewardess and just annoys her, director Favreau says in the DVD commentary "When Fonz hits the jukebox in this movie, the record player doesn't come on. Fonz gets thrown out."
