Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
I went to see ‘The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard‘ on Monday and while not a good movie by the conventional definition, it does have some truly hilarious interactions. It didn’t hurt at all that I’m quite fond of many of the actors; Jeremy Piven, Ving Rhames, David Koechner, Ed Helms, Rob Riggle, and Will Ferrell. The humor that was there is enough that I definitely want to see it again, if not own it.
** VERY MINOR SPOILERS **
The basic premise is that Piven and his team (Rhames, Koechner, & Kathryn Hahn) are hired guns who are brought in to sell cars and whip sales teams into shape. James Brolin calls them in to help his dealership. The sales staff is filled with some truly odd, but funny characters and Piven brings in some additional help of his own. The craziness that ensues is a thin plot with some truly bad dialog, but some great one-liners and exchanges. I don’t want to discuss any of the wonderful supporting cast as it could give away some of the fun, but there is fun to be had. Keep an eye out for Piven’s business card. I need something like that for myself, just not about cars 
Oh, if you don’t mind seeing the funniest scene in the movie early, check out my previous post.
Oh and just remember…”when they shoot you, poop comes out the butt”.
I am convinced that we will likely buy this movie and include it with a Waiting/Stepbrothers/Old School Film fest. This is why we are married. Others may not appreciate all the dick and fart joks and horrible dialogue. And by all means The Hangover was better, but the one liners and yes the link of the Abe Lincoln video is worth the price of a ticket.
Best line, “When someone tells me to wear my boner pants, I’m going wear my boner pants”
