I usually have quite a high tolerance for Vince Vaughn, but man was this the most unnecessary piece of filmmaking I’ve seen since RIPD.
And I may have kept quiet except for what they did to poor Tom Wilkinson. The dude was in 
three (3!) of my favourite movies last year – Selma, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Belle. And this is his follow-up?
I mean, this is a movie where even Vince Vaughn was misused. And what they did to Nick Frost was criminal. But Tom Wilkinson might have a human rights complaint. It’s a goddamn travesty and I feel worse about myself for having seen it.
RIP Tom Wilkinson

I never saw this one. Poor Vince. He’s had some stinkers lately. But I can’t wait to see him in the second season of True Detective. With a name as cool as Vince Vaughn, the guy deserves a cool gig.

Ugh, I can’t stand Vince Vaughn (see your post about annoying female actresses? That’s my reaction to VV…). Tom Wilkinson, however, is one of my favourites, evah! To hear he has been misused – well, I can’t go for that. I won’t be tuning in.

I love him dearly myself. I’m heart sick that it has somehow come to this, but don’t really understand how. Well, money I guess, but it seems the guy had already had a busy year!

Yeah, sometimes I just can’t bear to give a movie more words than it deserves. 🙂

well I hadn’t heard of this, so wiki’d the plot, when it got to “Dan encounters Bill in a bathroom with other men sticking their penises through glory holes.” I figured I probably will give it a miss. 😀 (am I allowed to say penises do you think? If not please delete this).

Oh did I forget to mention that? Yes, a whole conversation with just penises.

The only reason I wanted to see this was FOR Tom Wilkinson (who is one of my favorite actors)…but now I think I’m stay far, far away, for fear it’ll scar my cinematic relationship with him.

The trailer looks abominable, so you confirmed my dread about this one. Too bad about Mr Wilkinson’s involvement here.

I also liked Tom Wilkinson in the first Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Wasn’t he also a good actor in the Whistleblower movie, but not sure of this title? I like Vince Vaughn when he is in a funny group of actors, there are many which come to mind, but liked him in the “Wedding Crashers” and also, the one with Jennifer Anniston, since he had to change a little, “The Break Up.” Thanks for listening and hope you find a good movie which makes you happy. Don’t you think the new movie, “Spy,” is getting good ratings and may be worth checking out? Smiles, Robin

Yup, I already saw Spy last week and posted that indeed I did like it!
Tom Wilkinson WAS great in the Marigold Hotel. Really missed him in the sequel, I tell ya.
Loved him Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
But really fell in love with him during a TV movie that was better than its time – called Normal, about a transgendered father\mother. He was splendid, and this movie was a decade ahead of its time, but really got to me.

I knew this was going to be crap. Vince Vaughn is a piece of shit. I hope he rots in hell one of these days. He used to be talented but now has become a lazy fuck.
