The only thing in this movie that I can look at and say something positive about is the fact that these many bad comedy's out there that are more horrible and more worst than this, don't get me wrong this isn't a good movie at all but comparing this to other bad comedies out there this is almost there. He was wasted in this movie and I don't mean he was high or something, I mean his talent was put to waste and who knows maybe he wanted to go home or get his pay check.ĭave **** be honest I don't really care about him, so.stuff him. Tom Wilkinson is Oscar nominated actor that clearly knows how to act, so what happened here? did somebody put a gun to his head and made him do it because when you're such beloved actor would you want to waste it by being in movies like this.I don't think so. Maybe he didn't want to be there, maybe he wanted to go home or get a pay check. He played the basic Vince Vaughn in this movie. Thank god Vince Vaughn is in the next season of True Detective maybe he might pull **** performance in that TV show, but in ****. ![]() Normally I like to recommend movies that are great and people haven't heard of before, but Unfinished Business isn't one of them. I didn't laugh once during this movie and I think it's due to the bad writing and the slap together script that probably got shout straight out of the toilet and some how made it to the big screen.īasically my job is to tell people what to see and what to avoid like a disease. But when his former boss shows up to steal the show, the trio will go on a cross-country European romp to try to woo their clients back, no matter how far it takes them.Īs a reviewer myself I normally avoid movies like this for many good reason and one of them is the lack of effort or brains put into them, and the fact that great names actors that pulled off pretty performance in the past have to sell their soul to devil and by in a bad movie like this. The story is about a business owner and his only two employees set off on an international business trip that will culminate in the most important deal of their lives. The reason why this review is late because at the first I had zone interest in this movie and what change my mind at the end is the people telling me to watch. It's not the biggest winner out there, but much like it's characters there are still reasons to root for it. It will make for a good rental if you are in the mood for some occasionally raunchy R-rated comedy. "Unfinished Business" might not be a great movie, but some good laughs make it worth a watch. These moments are sure to click with certain people. Still, it does achieve some success when it touches on what it feels like to be the odd man out. You do kind of feel sorry for them, but not enough to really invest in their plight. This would not as big of an issue if we were given more reason to care about the characters. There's no big payoff in the end and there are moments where we are left wading through too much of it's progression while we wait for the next batch of laughs. The plot issues are still noticeable though. His character might be a little too stupid at times, but he still manages to bring some laughs with his cluelessness. Some crazy scenarios along with some very funny one liners help keep things mostly enjoyable. Yet there are enough belly laughs to make it a pretty entertaining movie. “Written in a lively and engaging tone, this provocative and highly original work makes an important contribution to Italian film studies.It's got issues that keep it from being one of the best comedies out there. Robin Pickering-Iazzi, Professor, Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Her latest, Unfinished Business is an innovative, expertly conceived and executed study that will surely generate new debates in various fields of study.” “Renga has already firmly established herself as a leading expert on Italian Mafia film narratives and documentaries with the foundational Mafia Movies: A Reader. Ryan Calabretta-Sajder, Italica vol 92:04:2015 It is refreshing to find a scholar so conscious of film, gender, and gender theory. ‘Renga’s film choices are spot-on, and offer a wide variety of Mafia themed films from the new millennium. Pasquale Iannone, University of Toronto Quarterly vol 84:03:2015 ‘There’s no doubt that Renga’s volume is essential reading for scholars of both Mafia films and Italian cinema more widely.’ ![]() Lara Santoro, Journal of Modern Italian Studies, February 2015 ‘ Unfinished Business is a thorough, well-researched, and well-executed study… Renga’s insightful and scrupulous analyses will surely generate plenty of new debates in Mafia studies, as well as in film, cultural studies and number of other disciplines.’
