Goofs

At the beginning of the movie Tim says that he is 67 years old. The next scene while they are standing in Dunkin' Donuts it clearly states that a year has passed. As the three men are walking through the airport to board their plane Tim says he is 67 when he should be 68.

User Reviews

Adequate brain-off entertainment

This film tells the story of a man who impulsively decides to start his own company, because he refuses to take a 5% pay cut from his boss. He hires a makeshift team of two, and together they try to win a contract against his former employer.

"Unfinished Business" is clearly a popcorn film that I'll forget about in a few months. It has a rather silly story, with characters that are quite inept. They keep running into unlikely scenarios, such as going to a gay festival and living in a reality art. I guess that is part of the fun. I think Dave Franco's character stands out the most, because his character is intellectually challenged, and yet he keeps a positive attitude towards life. I think "Unfinished Business" provides adequate brain-off entertainment.
