Guy talk, among a group of Hollywood wannabes (their chief points of reference in life appear to be Reservoir Dogs and Goodfellas, openly aped by director and cameraman Doug Liman in slow-motion and Steadicam sequences, respectively) whose highest form of praise and self-praise is "money," as in "You're money!" and "I'm money!" There is an overpowering element of shtick in all this talk, so that the effect is not so much of our eavesdropping on them as of their trying to make themselves overheard. It tends to contaminate the ethnographical evidence. Very funny isolated "routine," however, of the scriptwriter and star, Jon Favreau, being unable to wait the recommended two days before phoning up a new female acquaintance and instead leaving a frenzied flurry of messages on her uncommodious answering machine. And, near the end, an exciting apotheosis on the dance floor for this winsome sadsack. With Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston, Patrick Van Horn, and Heather Graham. (1996) — Duncan Shepherd
