PLOT:
This movie is by the creators of Swingers, which is a great movie for many reasons, and one of my favorites. Unfortunately, Made is not of the same caliber. It's watchable but it's not Swingers. This time around, Favreau (Bobby) plays a never-been second rate boxer who is a driver for his bachelor party stripper girlfriend. This girlfriend works with another dancer named Wendy, who is played by Vivid porn star Jenteal (credited with her real name). When Bobby is asked by his mob boss to travel to New York for a "job", he takes his goof-ball friend Vaughn (Ricky), with him, which leads to some mishaps. Most of the movie is spent in New York's popular late night hang-outs which may interest some of the readers.

In the original theatrical version, there is very little of the bachelor party scene shown. You see Bobby's girlfriend doing a quick lap dance, one of the party goers (presumably the bachelor) touches her and Bobby goes ballistic and punches him out. Prior to this scene, you see Wendy doing a quick dance for another partier. That's about the extent of the bachelor party scene. Other than teaching us that it's not a good idea for a jealous boyfriend to be the driver, you don't get much out of the scene.

In the DVD version, there are extra deleted scenes that show Wendy doing drugs with the party goer and presumably talking to him about some real private dances. There is also another deleted scene where Wendy is talking to Bobby and his girlfriend in the car after the ruined party. If you're a big fan of Jenteal, you might enjoy watching her doing some real dialog in a real movie. But the best part of the DVD is a hidden Jenteal lap dance sequence. See some vid caps from that scene below.

MUSIC:
Although the soundtrack contains varied music from Dean Martin to Monster Magnet, I did not recognize the music from the bachelor party scene. There was certainly nothing memorable about the music in that scene.

DANCE SEQUENCES:
On the DVD, there is a secret extended version of Jenteal doing her lap dances. To get to it, select the menu entry "More Made Footage," then select "Alternate Scenes" and then highlight the last menu entry in that screen, entitled "Double Cross." Now, press the left arrow key, then the Enter key, then left, Enter, then the right arrow key, then Enter. Now press right, then the Enter key for the last time.

As you can see from the vid caps below, Jenteal is only topless and keeps her bottom on the whole time. What kind of private bachelor party lap dance is this? Not a good one, that's for sure. You can see that near the end when she's upside down, the customer gets a quick feel of her boobs. Jenteal's bottom seems to be off to the side a little and you can see her fixing it in the quick scene. Frankly, for anybody that's been to a real bachelor party, this would be so mild and boring, you'd fall asleep. If it wasn't Jenteal in the scene, it would be complete waste of time.

SUMMARY:
In terms of a representation of the stripper life, there's very little here. If you're a big Jenteal fan, it might be worth a rental. If you're a big Swingers fan, you might enjoy the reuniting of John Favreau and Vince Vaughn.

Go see Jenteal when she's featuring somewhere or rent one of her Vivid videos.
