- 90Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasFavreau, who wrote "Swingers," has now directed and written the hilarious Made, which re-teams him with Vaughn. The two play off each other so well that they recall fond memories of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSome of the dialogue in Made was improvised, and the comic invention at work here -- Vaughn's and Favreau's -- make Made into a rough gem.
- 70Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorChicago ReaderLisa AlspectorFavreau, who also plays the long-suffering Bobby, mixes elements of drama into this appropriately annoying comedy.
- 70VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonFitfully amusing and two leads generate engaging chemistry.
- 70The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThough Mr. Favreau probably had to co-star in Made to make his exposé of the loser's mushy pink underbelly of "Swingers" register, he might have come up with a better picture if he had stayed behind the camera. But he's willing to take chances, and he'll learn from this movie.
- 63New York Daily NewsJami BernardNew York Daily NewsJami BernardNone of the criminal skulduggery feels quite right, but the comic bits between Bobby (Favreau) and Ricky (Vaughn) are freewheeling fun.
- 63Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezVaughn and Favreau are a dynamite pair, and there's enough give-and-take between them to satisfy any diehard "Swingers" fan.

- 50Chicago TribuneMark CaroChicago TribuneMark CaroThe good news is that Vaughn is back in needling, loosey-goosey mode in Made, which he produced with Favreau. The bad news is that by the end, not only do you find him quite resistible, but you also may wish one of the tough guys of this mob comedy would heave him out a window.
