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. | |

The Millstone | |
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. | |

Blatant Lies: When a gangster recognizes Rickie's Weapon for Intimidation as a starter pistol, Rickie lamely protests, "I make my gun look this way... because I am smart." | |

Deconstruction | |
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." | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: A great portion of the running time and comedy is the two main character arguing and coming to blows about every single little detail of their adventure. | |

Made / int_f360fc33 | comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: Rickie is so overbearing that it's easy for Bobby to ignore a lot of what he says, but Bobby actually bows to some of his logic, for better or worse. Most notably, Rickie predicts the need for a firearm during the deal. | |

Pet the Dog | |
Made / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Rickie is obnoxious, but he's not a bad guy. We learn that Bobby sticks with him because Rickie chose to be expelled from high school rather than rat him out. In the end, Rickie treats Bobby's daughter with kindness and helps raise her. | |
