Price Check

Not a bad movie. Kept me interested the whole time. Writers had trouble with a 'fair' ending in my opinion. 3/5 stars.

Posey is annoying as the typical American boss who likes to hear themselves talk and turns everything into an emergency. The guy is bland and lacks a personality. So so movie.

Poorly categorized as a comedy, the plot begins to lose cohesion after 30 minutes. Posey's character is unlikable and grating. Mabius plays a struggling husband who you really want to root for, but the script never gives him a chance.

This movie just goes to show you how much actual work gets done in the coporate side of the supermarket chain. Just a bunch of overpaid figures thinking up things a 5th grader could conjure... Meanwhile the people who actually work in the stores don't see a lick of incentive for their efforts.

Parker Posey is NOT cute crazy in this one. I love a good indie flick but this was just hard to watch. Depressing and not the least bit funny.

This movie turned out to be a lot better than what you could gather from the trailer. It could use a second trip thru Final Cut Pro to fix the contrast and bring up more color, the lighting is remarkably fluorescent-bland, but it unintentionally makes for a remarkable ironic juxtaposition to how colorful the characters are. Surprisingly well written and acted, despite the fact that neither of these impressions are gleanable from the promo work. Parker does a great turn with her character, the kind of high energy-low talent individuals who pervade a significant portion of middle corporate America. What they lack in real human skills they make up in loud obnoxious behaviour and trite intimidation techniques. Yet.. Parker makes her likeable.. somehow. Even sympathetic. Faye Dunaway played a similar character in 'Network', yet with a far more tragic spin. Hopefully someone will give it that second run through post production to fix the 'fluorescent light' look, but it's easy to get past that one fault. It's definitely worth the ride.

Posey is great and it starts off well and then falls into the dark hole of 'the writers couldn't figure out how to end it' genre. Save your money and wait until it only costs 99 cents or less.

The protagonist is made to be a philandering wimp that has a wife who loves debt and wants a second kid he doesn't want to which she gets anyway. And the antagonist is the male version of a manipulative womanizer who wants a kid as well with the help of the wimp. If one really pays attention, the hidden male bashing is clearly evident.

Don't bother. This is a movie about nothing. And it's not funny.

Definitely worth watching, entertaining, good storyline and some good acting. Also quite funny.
