For whatever reason l generally like flicks that involve time travel. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Back to the Future, Time Bandits, Avengers: Endgame, and Hot Tub Time Machine. Spoiler alert, the Browns go to the Superbowl in Hot Tub Time Machine. 

Anyway, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a fairly new movie on Hulu starring Vince Vaughn as both Nicks, James Marsden as Mike, and Eiza González as Alice. They’re all part of a mob family headed up by a guy played by Keith David, who seems to be cut out for roles like a mob boss.

The general plot line is that Alice is married to Nick, but she loves Mike, and in the mix is Mike has become disenchanted with mob life and wants out. This all coincides with the mob boss’s son recently getting out of jail, so there’s parties and suspicion that there’s a mole in the family.

It’s a pretty amusing movie. Funny, but not really gut busting funny. Probably the funniest parts of the movie is the portrayal of the other mob members, who are largely dumb as a box of rocks. 

And yes, the time machine element adds a bit of quirky fun. The action scenes are solid too. Vince Vaughn looks like he’s committed to looking older because he’s a starkly different looking dude than his Dodgeball days, which l guess was over 20 years ago. I wasn’t familiar with Eiza González, but she’s a looker. 

Good but not great, l’ll give it a solid B.
