I've
been a fan of Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn since their
breakthrough comedy Swingers
in 1996. The two are teamed up again here, with favreau writing the
script. And they play similar characters (Favreau is the nervous nerdy
guy, and Vaughn is the happy go lucky charmer), except that now they're
small time hoods. Very small time! It's a funny romp as they attempt
to pay off a debt to mob boss Peter Falk by going to new york to do
a job, but they're never too certain what they're supposed to be doing,
except act like mobsters. They have funny run ins with Sean "Puff
Daddy" Coombs (or is it P Diddy?) and even Screech from Saved
by the Bell! This is definitely a movie I want to see again, and
it's my Comedy of the Year.
