Vince Vaughn has Unfinished Business with Sienna Miller in this new trailer

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

There used to be a time when a Vince Vaughn comedy opening would at least merit our attention. Now, it seems to have been reduced to groans generally reserved for Adam Sandler or Mike Myers movies. Once again, Vince Vaughn has taken a starring role in a film where he plays a man-child forced to grow up to not only save his life/career but also that of his friends. This time, though, it plays like a cross between OLD SCHOOL and OFFICE SPACE.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS comes from director Ken Scott who helmed the underwhelming Vince Vaughn movie DELIVERY MAN, which itself should have been a slam dunk as it was based on a popular French Canadian movie called STARBUCK. I cannot believe I just wrote that sentence. Anyway, UNFINISHED BUSINESS has a cast that should be impressive: Sienna Miller, James Marsden, Tom Wilkinson, and Dave Franco.

In Unfinished Business, Vaughn plays a hard-working small business owner who, along with his two associates, (Franco and Wilkinson), travel to Europe to close the most important deal of their lives. But what began as a routine business trip goes off the rails in every imaginable – and unimaginable – way, including unplanned stops at a massive sex fetish event and a global economic summit.

The posters clearly evoke OLD SCHOOL and even WEDDING CRASHERS to an extent. But, why does the trailer feel so generic? This should be a bigger movie than it is. Hell, Vaughn doesn’t even appear to be trying anymore. Hopefully this is just bad editing and the movie is worth watching. Or, maybe we just scratch this one and hope Vaughn manages to deliver in the next season of TRUE DETECTIVE.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS hits theaters on March 6, 2015.
