We headed out to see The Goods starring Jeremy Piven at the Starplex last night ($5 off for employees at my company!).
Everyone there enjoyed it. All two of us. Some guy wandered in about 20 minutes into the feature. I wondered if he was the projector, thinking he could go home early if no one had showed. Sorry, dude.
You've got to be somewhat comfortable with profanity and sexual innuendo in order to enjoy this one. I was just reaching my limit when they backed it way off. It's a story mostly without "hugs or lessons," as they say, meaning that it's superficial and fun, slapstick type movie. Piven leads a wacky foursome who specializes in selling cars. Their mission of saving a family dealership down on its luck begins by hiring a local D.J. (remember Darryl from The Office?) to sit on the roof and play music. Crazy gimmickry ensues, like inviting Bo Bice's brother for "celebrity" effect.
Near the end, producer Will Ferrell makes an appearance, and (as I require) the good guys win in the end.
Feel free to wait for this one to come to DVD or T.V. (apparently everyone else in town is). 90 minutes of low-brow laughs on a rainy day.
