John Favreau has baffled big time hollywood. This film has no car chases, no nudity, nothing gets blown up, and no digitized special effects, and yet it is a great film. A character study of men, not the men that you women know as husbands and boyfriends. This movie breaks even more rules, as Favreau takes us inside the secret society of "Guy's Night Out", he exposes the way we think, the way we speak, what we search for when we are out and away from the women in our lives. This film is an alltogether honest portrayal, of relationships between friends and lovers. An interesting look at the Los Angeles we never see in films, the underground life of the struggling actors and writers and less glamorous people, not living in Malibu opulence as seen in other weaker films. Vince Vaughn is cast perfectly, and flourishes in his role. Favreau is a generous man and doesn't hog all the best lines for himself. There are many good lines in this script, and delivered with subtlety and dead on timing. Three Stars out of a possible four.
