Vince Vaughn and Kevin James’ characters are best friends and business partners, who are about to embark on the biggest business deal of their careers with Chrysler Motors. They just need to put the finishing touches on their invention. Which as you can imagine requires a lot of focus, on Kevin James’ part. In the mean time Vince Vaughn finds out that his best friend’s wife (Winona Rider) is cheating on him. As he searches for a way to tell Kevin James, without hurting him too badly, he finds himself in some comical and difficult situations.
The tag line for the movie is “How far would you go for your best friend?” This is the perfect way to sum up the movie. Would you be willing to mess up this huge business deal, your own relationship, friendships, and even your car, just to make sure you are being honest with someone you care about?
Vince Vaughn character is very, Vince Vaughn. He was funny but not a big variation from how you have seen him in recent movies (Wedding crashers, The Break-Up, Four Christmases). The unbelievable part was that Kevin James is the brains behind their business. Without his skills to create the engine that Chrysler wants, the deal will not happen. Not exactly who you would type cast in that role. Queen Latifah was hilarious, with her talk of “lady wood.” I would have liked to have seen more of her charter in the movie.
This movie defiantly had its funny moments; however the best ones were in the previews. This is a renter no need to pay theater prices but it is a good Friday night in movie.
