The role of Vince Vaughn's career

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

Over the last 5 years or so, I've gone back and forth in my opinion of Vince Vaughn. My opinion of his characters in Zoolander and Old School was lukewarm, and Psycho was just AWFULLY CREEPY. But this is the role he was BORN to play! He and Owen Wilson are consistently funny from start to finish. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD. There's a lot to be said about a movie in which Christopher Walken's character is the most normal one of the whole cast. That's a little frightening! No one in this movie is perfect; in fact, almost all of the characters have varying degrees of dysfunction. But they are lovable and dynamic and overall, believable. It was a little upsetting that Vaughn and Wilson are both in their late thirties, courting women who appear to be in their early twenties, but sometimes you have to just look the other way and let it be funny for funny's sake. (Turns out I'm wrong--the leading ladies are older than I thought. They just SEEM to be very young!)
