Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

In my work and travels, I've experienced some variation of all of the goofball characters and difficult situations portrayed in Unfinished Business - it speaks to the business life well. For this reason, I'm giving it a higher score than I might have otherwise. Still, it has a 5.5 right now, and that is not accurate. This is actually a very entertaining movie with a good mix of comedy and mild drama.Vince Vaughn character reminded me of myself. Trying balance work, family, and getting emotionally connected with individuals from both sides. The interesting part is the flaws that are so obvious in the people he supports, yet he believes in them and refuses to give up. I like that kind of message.I found it funny, touching, and maybe just a little inspirational. Give it a chance - you can do a lot worse out there.

When the film begins, one can get a sense of the overall humor it will have. It doesn't help that the antagonist, Chuck is not in any way spiteful or vindictive enough, and you even find yourself liking her, appreciating her as one of the most normal characters in this damn thing. Vaughn does impress however, playing that same role as always, irrespective of the screenplay, he has a way with words, a fluency to his dialogue that can entrance the viewer. He'd make one of hell of a salesman – in real life. Dave Franco provides the very few laughs that do exist however, playing a different role but carrying it well, as the heartbeat to this movie.Unfinished Business is more of a small comedy that flopped in theaters and will be forgotten most likely. Scott's inclination for mawkish poignancy falls flat too, as attempting to be profound is not something the filmmaker has earned at all. There was more nudity and graphic nudity than one would expect from a film as this, but since it did have an R rated, it made sense.

This is a comedy which lacks any form of amusement, it is disjointed, atrocious script and actors who look like they would be happier anywhere but on this set. Ken Scott have form with another turkey in Delivery Man, thankfully a movie I have missed but apparently as unfunny as this film with a cast of Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson, Dave Franco, Sienna Miller, James Marsden you would hope for a better effort this is utterly boring film without a laugh to be found. Tom Wilkinson is an excellent actor and I am bewildered he got roped into this and looks like he can not wait to escape this mess, Vince Vaughn looks more bored than me, I think the makers knew it was a turkey and threw naked bodies at it in an effort to attract the pubescent teenagers market. There are scenes and concepts which simply are confusing and disjointed, three spring to mind, the spa scene, the deer on the road and the businessman 42, none of this adds anything. I suspect the film was edited to an inch of its leave to save it, it failed miserably, I think lots of it ended up on the cutting room floor leaving a meaningless mess, I think it wanted to be the Hangover, if you can not deliver humour then try for charm and wit, this has neither. When you think a character called Mike Pancake is laugh out loud you have problems. I wish I could give less than 1. The only amusement we got was thinking about the poor actors who auditioned for the toilet scene.

This movie is superficial. The jokes are marginally funny. There were nude scenes. The plot is somewhat predictable, a story of a underdog who eventually pulled it off with persistency and heart despite numeral setbacks. However, I for one can relate to the characters, a lot. I watched the movie on HBO on a Friday night after a long day of work as a small business owner. On this day, I bid on a project of a client who really likes our work but seldom gives projects because of our small size. Later I was told that another client was not happy with the frequency of our communication - a large company's VPs have meeting with her on a daily basis. With about a million things to take care of everyday, I can't imagine to have time to call her everyday just to chat. If you have struggles as a small business owner, which I am sure each has, you will like this movie because you feel that the main character is part of you. You try so hard for your family and your employees, whose livelihood depend on you. So the movie struck me on a day filled with some success and some setback at the same time, a typical day of my life. Who can't say that's not how life is no matter what you do. So the spirit of the character is contagious, and can struck you deep. The movie appears to be superficial. But when you think about it, and relate it to your life, it is not that superficial. In fact, it provoked some deep emotions.
