The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard - 1 frown

I often wonder how studios green light certain movies and not others. “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard” is inane and stupid and Jeremy Piven’s character, Don Ready, a fast-talking car salesman, is a hustler and a huckster and there’s nothing likable about him. Or any of the other characters, for that matter. The humor is cheap and easy, often relying on shock value and potty talk. And after a while, everything becomes redundant. Even a cameo by Will Farrell can’t save this loser. “The Goods” doesn’t deliver and I’m embarrassed I even saw it. How could a studio think this movie would have wide appeal? 8/30/09
