Vince Vaughn doubles your fun in ‘Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice’
Somewhere in the middle of writer-director BenDavid Grabinski’s raucous action comedy “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice†is a throwaway line about the 1980s NBC alien sitcom, “ALF.†I laughed out loud, while at the same time thinking “90 percent of the people watching this on Hulu aren’t going to get that joke.†What made the scene so funny was the situation — a cannibalistic hit man has come to claim his victim — and the line’s delivery by the film’s MVP, Vince Vaughn.
This isn’t Vaughn’s first flirtation with callbacks to the 1980s. Back in 2020, he appeared in “Freaky,†a horror movie collision between two of the most prominent movie topics of that decade, slasher victims and body-swapped individuals. As a final girl who exchanged bodies with a ruthless serial killer, Vaughn gave a memorable performance that I’m still surprised he was able to pull off. He has a knack for breathing believable life into characters in unbelievable situations.
'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice' review: Time-traveling gangster comedy is a must-see crowd-pleaser
Cheers to BenDavid Grabinski. The writer/director of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice takes a bold swing, combining elements of gangster movies and time-travel adventures to craft a comedy that's wildly unique. And he created the perfect way to introduce such an unexpected subgenre mash-up, with a high-energy performance from Ben Schwartz.
The improv comedian reteams with his Sonic the Hedgehog co-star James Marsden in this dark sci-fi comedy. But the two won't share any scenes together. Instead, Schwartz channels his irrepressible verve into a full-throated performance of an undersung gem: "Why Should I Worry?" the Billy Joel single from Oliver & Company. Yes. This movie about gangsters and time travel begins with Ben Schwartz bopping around a warehouse, doing some sort of science-y stuff while singing his heart out to an upbeat track from the 1988 Disney adaptation of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, which reimagines all the characters as cats and dogs, most of them strays.

Overworked and over-quirked action-comedy Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a space-time mishap
Nick (Vince Vaughn) has traveled back in time. In the opening scene of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, an inventor (Ben Schwartz, determined to earn his paycheck for a brief role by maximizing his per-minute mugging) tinkers with a time machine, which allows Nick to arrive in what appears to be the present day, from six months in the future. Nick would be forgiven, however, for assuming he’d gone further back—maybe as far back as the mid-to-late 2000s, when actors like Vaughn and his co-star James Marsden were staples of 20th Century Fox comedies like Dodgeball and 27 Dresses, while there was also a perceived market for caffeinated post-post-Tarantino shoot-em-up comedies like Smokin’ Aces or, uh, Shoot ‘Em Up. Such a trip could change the course of film history; maybe Fox’s post-Disney moniker as “20th Century Studios,” purveyor primarily of sci-fi franchises and straight-to-Hulu programmers like Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, is simply a space-time mishap.
