Vince Vaughn has been a stand-out star in Hollywood since shortly after he began his career in the late 1980s. After a short stint working in commercials, the actor quickly found his way to the big screen as quarterback Jamie O’Hara in 1993’s Rudy. He continued to work in dramas, including 1994’s At Risk, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurᴀssic Park, and The Locusts in that same year. While he certainly performed well in those movies, it took him time to realize that his true niche was comedy. Vaughn’s best performances have generally always come in comedic roles.
Swingers (1996) became his breakthrough project, and he followed it up with other comedies. The actor appeared in Starsky & Hutch (2004), Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), and all of them proved that he performed best when he could display his sense of humor. While he still stars in some dramatic movies, including 2017’s Brawl in Cell Block 99, he spends his time developing hilarious movies. His most recent film combines his love for drama and comedy that’s already pleasing critics.

Our Take On Nonnas’ Rotten Tomatoes Success
The Movie Is Slow-To-Start But Heart-Warming
The successful response from critics should come as no surprise, given the heartwarming nature of this movie. ScreenRant‘s Grant Hermanns called Nonnas an “interesting new venture” that impresses with its “truly stunning” look at the cooking process. While it is slow to start, it always maintains a sense of sentimentality that carries it through even its less interesting scenes.
