The Promotion Movie Review

Posted on 9/25/2008 09:12:00 AM, under ,


You would think that a movie featuring Seann William Scott, and John C. Reilly would be set to be a classic comedy and a gut buster. Well, thats what I thought about this movie and I was wrong.

I will say this movie had me laugh in a few parts, but a VERY few. This movie just seemed so slow and the acting was awful.

Try to stay away from this one, but if you want here is a synopsis from IMDB.

At 33, Doug Stauber is ready for a promotion. He's married, wants to buy a house, and is assistant manager at a Chicago supermarket that's building a new store in his neighborhood. His boss tells him he's a shoe in to manage the new store, then, a rival appears - Richard Wehlner, transferred from Canada. Richard has a deeper resume than Doug, is really nice, has a wife and daughter, and wants the promotion to manager, too. How should Doug behave toward Richard - as a friend, a colleague, a competitor, or an enemy? Richard, it seems, has demons and a past, but with the help of motivational tapes, he's resolved to succeed. Corporate and personal tests await the two men.
