Made
- Rating:
- Director: Jon Favreau
- Starring: Jon Favreau
- Details: US / 96 mins (15PG).
Struggling boxer Bobby (Favreau) accepts an offer to 'mind' New York gangster Ruiz (Combs). All goes well, bar the fact that Bobby's buddy Ricky (Vaughn) doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. A wise-ass sideswipe at the gangster genre movie, Made features a neat Favreau / Vaughn double-act and some very funny moments indeed.
