PeachHamBeach This is the kind of comedy film that my brother and some friends like. It's slapsticky and vulgar, and sometimes that works for me (i.e. DETROIT ROCK CITY). Produced by Will Ferrell (who also has an important small role here) the comedy is either hit or miss, but mostly miss for me.I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I'm just saying with my particular sense of humor, it doesn't really work. My brother would tell you this is a 10 star film. Because his humor is different than mine.I like "frat girl" comedies rather than "frat boy-ish" ones. I mainly watched this because I like Jeremy Piven, Ving Rhames, Jordana Spiro, Kathryn Hahn, James Brolin, Charles Napier and of course Jonathan Sadowski...but overall the story and the writing disappointed me. It was just one of those ridiculously vulgar comedies that didn't make me laugh much at all.
Eleison_Lilium I've seen seemingly thousands of films and this was by far one of the worst. The dialogue was horrid and sounded like it was thrown together by an immature child the night before they started filming. Another thing that cracked me up was the extras. Now, I know they aren't supposed to be "professional" actors but once you see the crowd on day one of their car sales (if you even make it that far), you'll be scratching your head at how such a god-awful film even made it into theaters.Overall, if you're into brainless and tasteless "comedies" with some of the worst acting known to man; this is for you.
TheKingofDirk From the cast this movie looks like it will be good. Watching the trailers would further enforce this illusion. Unfortunately, this is not the case. As much as I like Ed Helms, Ken Jeong, David Koechner etc. this movie produces more groans than laughs. When the antagonist (Ed Helms) is more appealing than the protagonist (Jeremy Piven), then clearly the writing has to be pointed at as to why this movie fails to achieve it's intended affect (which is meager at that, to make you laugh). Also, the fact that there are no extras on the DVD should clue you in to how everyone involved with this stinker would rather forget this movie than remember it.There are some laughs in the movie, Ed Helms is a bright spot, Will Ferrell's cameo is memorable, and there are some hilarious politically incorrect lines that Charles Napier's character (Dick Lewiston) delivers but the main flaw in this movie stems from the fact that I didn't want to root for Don Ready (Jeremy Piven) and his team of mercenary auto sellers. I found them repulsive and with NO redeemable qualities. That would be fine if this was an edgy drama. But this film aims to be a fun comedy.The handful of good performances by the aforementioned solid cast save this from being a total waste of time but, not so much that you don't realize you've been sold a lemon by a sleazy used car salesman at the end of the movie.
joshabbott I heard a lot of not so great things about the movie, but I loved the cast and it seemed like it could be funny. After the first couple scenes, you start to realize it is a very dumb comedy, but as long as you can get over the fact that it is not very realistic, and is made to just be over-the-top funny, I think you will like it too. There are so many 1 liners that I was constantly rewinding the DVD to catch stuff, most of the movie had me rolling. Expect dumb and a non-realistic story, and then you can truly enjoy it. The stuff you can't take through the airport 1 liners really gave me a good laugh. I was disappointed when the movie was over.
