Vince Vaughn

The sort of bad movie that constantly threatens to turn into something good, mostly on the strength of a few talented actors.

Gleefully silly...plays like an extension of a Ben Stiller Show sketch (but a pretty good one, at that).

As loosely adapted from Elmore Leonard's Get Shorty sequel novel, the sequel movie Be Cool tastes like a watered-down drink.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith has a one-joke premise, and it's one we've seen before....But Liman fights valiantly to sustain the newfangled comic tango and largely succeeds.

Seen with forgiving eyes, Wedding Crashers is trashy, raunchy fun.

Kirn's sharp-tongued novel would suggest an Alexander Payne film rife with arch satire, but Mills ultimately goes for a more deeply affecting emotional study.

At least one draft short of brilliance....[but] more palatable than the typical romantic comedy, thanks in large part to Vaughn's engaging duets with the ensemble.

Though the film teases questions that would spark a child’s imagination, they’re all dropped like hot potatoes in favor of cheap infusions of dancing, slapstick, and...cartoon sound effects.

According to an old showbiz saw, the key to comedy is timing. Well, the new big-budget sci-fi comedy The Watch has a problem there.

Although Vaughn's riffing skills remain in fine form, as do Wilson's, the story makes every obvious and conventional choice.

Benefits from the estimable comic instincts of Vince Vaughn. It's just too bad that the movie around him is squishy.
