“These late-night shows are akin to taking your medicine. It’s agenda theater that’s indistinguishable from the other shows,” said Vince Vaughn, reflecting on the current state of television. This statement comes as Vaughn prepares for the release of his new film, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, scheduled to debut on March 27, 2026, exclusively on Hulu.
In this time-traveling crime comedy, Vaughn takes on the challenge of portraying two versions of his character. The film, directed by BenDavid Grabinski, is noted for its chaotic plot involving gangsters and a love triangle, along with a cast that includes Eiza Gonzalez and James Marsden.
With a runtime of 107 minutes, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice has already received a Rotten Tomatoes score of 77%, indicating a favorable reception from critics. Roger Ebert described it as “a film filled with inspired musical choices, wildly funny moments, and the kind of eccentric personality that feels genuinely difficult to find in modern streaming originals.”
The film marks a reunion for Vaughn and Stephen Root, who last appeared together in the cult classic Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. The quirky characters, including names like Roid Rage Ryan and Dumbass Tony, contribute to the film’s unique charm.
Vaughn’s performance has been highlighted as his best work in years, showcasing his comedic talent in a fresh context. As he prepares for the film’s release, Vaughn also took the opportunity to critique late-night television, stating, “It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a f***ing class I didn’t want to take.”
As anticipation builds for the film’s premiere, fans and critics alike are eager to see how Vaughn’s dual roles will unfold in this innovative narrative. The film’s exclusive streaming release further emphasizes the shift in how audiences consume content today.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any promotional events leading up to the release, but the buzz surrounding Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is palpable. With Vaughn at the helm of this comedic venture, expectations are high for a memorable addition to his filmography.
