![]() But the business trip gets sidetracked by Oktoberfest, G8 Summit protesters, a gay fetish festival and the Berlin marathon. Vaughn’s Dan is a hard-working family man who sets up his own sales operation – dealing in the comically uninteresting metal residue swarf – after clashing with his tough female boss Chuck (played by American Sniper’s Sienna Miller).Ĭompeting with Chuck for a make-or-break contract from a German-owned company, Dan takes his two employees – aging numbers man Tim (UK stalwart Tom Wilkinson, from Michael Clayton) and slow-witted sales beginner Mike (Dave Franco, from Neighbors) – to Berlin. The cast (including Tom Wilkinson and Sienna Miller) and European locations (Berlin) might be marginal selling points outside the US (where Delivery Man managed $20.5m). Vaughn’s box office pull isn’t what it used to be - he last starred in the Scott-directed Delivery Man, which topped out at $30.7m in the US and Canada – so expectations won’t be huge when the Fox-distributed Unfinished Business opens in the US, UK and other international markets over the weekend beginning March 6. The raunch – which has earned the film an R rating in the US – comes mostly in a pretty mild ‘glory-holing’ scene in the bathroom of a Berlin gay bar. Vince Vaughn’s familiar comic everyman is a bit sweeter and a bit less edgy than usual in Unfinished Business, a mostly flat, occasionally raunchy comedy-drama that packages its star with Canadian director Ken Scott, an underused Anglo-American supporting cast and quirky Berlin settings.
