★★★★ The Promotion

[Twinkletoes: 4.0]

Twinkletoes says: 'Maybe I'm being too kind with this rating but I really enjoyed this film. It's about 2 assistant managers at a supermarket who are both gunning for the manager position at a new location that their company is opening up. What could have been an idiot comedy starring Dane Cook and someone I hate almost as much as Dane Cook ends up being a lot more quiet and more character driven than one would have expected. This is humor of the mildly uncomfortable sort and I really enjoyed it. I also appreciated the moments of absurdity that managed to creep in here and there. A little seen film that I very much recommend.'
