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

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
With both movies and TV constantly mining mob life for script fodder, Made never comes up with a new twist on the material.
The stars are hilarious and the supporting cast is perfectly in tune with the spirit of their comedy.
Made isn't in a particular hurry to get anywhere, but Jon Favreau's script has the feel of improvisation done right.
