That's "Swingers" era Vince Vaughn... the mistake no one regrets making all that much.
Current Vince Vaughn is that bloated neighbor who gets drunk way too early at the neighborhood block party and slurringly hits on someone's horrified teenage daughter right before passing out on the lawn. His long-suffering wife leaves him there all day, and one of his buddies throws a wet towel over his face once he starts to sunburn.
He was great in Swingers. And middle-aged losers (like me) want to re-live our younger days, back when Vince Vaughn was cool and we wanted to be like him.
Im going to play the unpopular but honest realist here and state the facts.
Even when he plays a asshole he plays a likable asshole, and while his comedies can be juvenile, they generally are MUCH funnier than movie reviewers will ever admit out of fear of not being "highbrow" enough for their peers.
Thats not to say they are good movies, but they are good popcorn comedies you take a new girlfriend, or a can take your parents to see maybe slightly risky but no where near the level of say the American Pie or Stupid Movie (ie scary epic blah blah blah) series of comedies.
For me, it's because no matter how bloated he gets, he'll always be Trent in Swingers in my mind, and Trent from Swingers was one of the best characters ever.
Honestly? Rosie Perez is the only Puerto Rican in Hollywood? That is like saying all the angsty Irishman roles only go to Gabriel Byrne.. oh wait. never mind.

In general they are safe bets.

But then the directors would have just called J-Lo, so I guess it doesn't matter.

I really, really can't stand Rosie Perez.
