Plot 411: A high-volume car sales team is hired by a failing dealership to
Review: Jeremy Piven plays Don, the leader of a slick team of car salesman (and one woman) who are hired by low-volume dealerships to turn things around. They pull into the lot of Ben Selleck (James Brolin) to throw down a huge Fourth of July sale and school Selleck's guys on how to sell cars. They use all the gimmicks they can to bring in the crowds. Their sales goal is 211 cars. Otherwise, Selleck's future son-in-law Paxton (Ed Helms) and his father (Alan Thicke) are going to purchase the lot and turn it into a practice studio for Paxton's boy band. Don's band of bandits include Jibby (Ving Rhames), Brent (David Koechner) and Babs (Kathryn Hahn). I think most people will find this movie just a step above retarded, but somehow I actually enjoyed it. It may be because I worked part time at the front desk of a car dealership and can actually see some of the guys in these characters. Oh sure, they're not as suave as Don, but there are many similar traits. Piven does a tremendous job in this role. He's able to pull off being both arrogant and sympathetic at the same time. Nice. Also in this film are Jordana Spiro, Rob Riggle and Ken Jeong. I definitely think Jeong was under used in this one. What a waste.
Watch It: If you've got the faintest connection to car dealerships. You'll bust a gut.
Skip It: If you've ever had a bad experience at a car dealership. You'll probably just feel worse afterwards.
