What an incredibly childish crappy movie. I blame myself for not watching it. Maybe because I thought there was something else.....

Vince Vaughn is without a doubt a talented comedic actor who specializes in stories that balance on the brink of bad taste, but Steve Conrad's screenplay too often crosses that line in this wickedly amusing comedy in which the talents of Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson (!?) be pretty squandered. Vaughn plays a salesman who, due to his poor results and a confrontation with his boss [Sienna Miller], is thrown out on the street and determined to make a big deal on his own. The only people willing to help him with that are a colleague who was fired for his age [Tom Wilkinson] and a naive but enthusiastic intern [Dave Franco]. The three find themselves in all kinds of comical situations during a trip to Europe where they hope to close a mega deal. Conrad builds in a standard subplot around Vaughn's neglected family to make him more sympathetic, but it's not convincing at all.

Mme.
Unfinished Business initially surprised me in a negative way. I didn't know director Ken Scott well, but I saw his latest movie ever and I quite liked it. Looked good too, and apparently he had made a career before that included theatrical releases and fairly big names.
Nevertheless, this film felt painfully cheap and bare when the first scenes started to roll. The fairly raw and direct way of directing also didn't seem to be a conscious choice, but simply a lack of resources. The only pity is that it is presented so ugly, because despite the limited resources there are plenty of ways to hang some decorations. Those are all ably ignored by Scott.
Unfinished Business has a story that runs well, but is nowhere really special. Also not necessary for a comedy that focuses more on entertainment, and the acting is fortunately good enough for that. Franco especially impresses as the unusual Mike Pancake. I've never found Vaughn really brilliant as a comedian (I prefer to see him seriously) because he seems a bit demotivated, but otherwise he does a decent job. Wilkinson as a third member also fine.
The situations are sometimes comical, although the film depends a bit too much on scenes that don't work at all. The dry dialogues here and there combined with the delivery work, but the film also makes an attempt to incorporate some drama into the whole that just feels a bit forced and insincere. As if they had to come in from a third party, but it still feels a bit intrusive. It all looks nice, but still makes a somewhat incomplete and messy impression. That's a shame, because the base was definitely there.
