To land a major client, they travel first to Portland, Maine and then to Berlin, where they realize they’re competing for the business with Chuck. A fight with his boss, Chuck Portnoy (Sienna Miller), made him quit, and from that company he takes with him 67-year old Timothy McWinters (Tom Wilkinson) and the young, deliciously-named Mike Pancake (Dave Franco). Vince plays the same character he always plays, I mean, plays Dan Trunkman, a family man who’s struggling to get his business off the ground. The director responsible for this is Ken Scott, whose few directing credits include the awful Delivery Man and the slightly better Starbuck.
That’s certainly how it felt watching Unfinished Business. I’m guessing the director was a bit as well. Throw in an art-themed hotel, strange encounters in a spa, women’s running gear, a G8 summit and “sex maids,” interspersed with business pitches and a lot of serious talk about some amorphous “figures” and you have all the component parts of this film. Still with me? Then let’s weave in a narrative about cyber-bullying, standing up for yourself, and being a good provider for your family. Add a supporting cast of a dirty old man, a naïve grinning idiot, a ball-busting boss, and a businessman who enjoys some glory hole action. But let’s also set him up for some crazy exploits. Let’s send Vince Vaughn to Berlin on a business trip to try and win over a big new client.
