In all honesty, there was no chance this film was going to bomb when names like Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn was attached to it. During the early ‘90s, the comedy factors had only been launching their careers. Back then, they were nothing more than Hollywood fledglings. The film follows characters dealing with similar situations, so the comedy had a very natural feel to it. Audiences ended up adoring the duo, which is how the movie raked in more than $4 million in box office sales. Great job, guys!
