There's no chemistry between these guys, despite a valiant effort on the part of the actors (especially Vaughn, always open to possibilities in any given scene for comedy/bits/gags). Instead, he acquires his first "employees" in the parking lot on the way to his car: Timothy ( Tom Wilkinson), fired because he was too old, and Mike Pancake ( Dave Franco), who just interviewed for a job and didn't get it, maybe because he has only about 20 words in his vocabulary.Ī year then passes, and the three are seen still working out of the product-placement-Dunkin-Donuts as an office, and their relationship has not progressed at all. When Trunkman storms out, declaring he will set up a business of his own, nobody follows him. Employees implausibly gather around to watch the argument. Dan Trunkman (Vaughn) confronts his boss, the unfeeling and cutthroat Chuck Portnoy ( Sienna Miller), about why he has to submit to a 5-percent pay cut. The opening scene, meant to call up memories of Jerry Maguire storming out of his office taking the brave little secretary with him, is a problem because as one watches it, one starts to wish that one were watching " Jerry Maguire" instead.
