Does Vince Vaughn Annoy Anyone Else?

*finally* saw Couple's Retreat last night. Wasn't all that impressed. I feel like VV's schtick is growing quite tiresome. Of course, one of his lines also made me laugh the hardest in the whole movie too. Does anyone else have thought either way on VV?

Re: Does Vince Vaughn Annoy Anyone Else?

  • Haven't seen Couples Retreat yet, but VV will always hold a soft spot in my heart for Wedding Crashers. :)

  • I've never liked him.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • Inh, I don't much care for him as an actor.  It was funny, though, when I first moved out here it was like you hadn't lived in L.A. until you had seen him out somewhere (and I did).  Then he moved to Chicago and apparently it's that way there now.
  • I feel like his monologues are just kind of over the top, they go on and on and on...reminds me of some of the overacted lines on Grey's--like ok--we know you all have the same writers, but everyone talks the same and repeats their lines with the same intonations...IDK, I am being picky, but I was expecting the movie to blow me away and my H and I were both like "eh."

    However, bright spot of the movie~Carlos Ponce may be my new celeb crush!! ;) 

  • I actually love VV. He is one of my big celeb crushes. I do think he plays the same character a lot, though.

  • I don't find him annoying, but I do find him overrated. I hear lots of "Oh, he's so hilarious!" and "Oh, he's so wonderful!" and in everything I've ever seen him in I've thought "He's okay I guess, but _________ would probably do better." (Blank varies depending on which movie I'm watching at the time.)

    I think the ONLY exception to my above statement is the movie *Swingers*.

  • I agree with SBS... I think he's funny but its predictable.  He does play pretty much the same character over and over.  DH and I watched Couples Retreat on Saturday and it was just ok for us too.  However, I do really really want to go to Bora Bora now.
  • so funny you bring this up. I was watching TV the other day with my brother and husband and I said, "I don't want to see that movie, Vince Vaughn annoys the shitttt out of me."

    So that's my answer. I agree completely with a PP saying that he's very predictable.

    ITA. I've never seen Swingers so I can't speak to that one but I really don't think he's anything special.  A coworker's BFF is dating his BFF so we can't bring him up at work without a big name dropping routine.  That annoys me as much if not more than his acting.

  • I like him but I feel like he plays the same characters or does the same line delivery.  Breakup, Couples Retreat, Wedding Crashers he does the same line delivery. It's not word for word, but it's the same concept.  I still like him.
