Avis à la une
The dialog was convincing, and the characters were well developed (especially amazing considering the number of characters and the relatively short runtime). The realism might be attributed to the fact that there was no script, with all of the dialog improvised by the cast. Especially good were Evie Peck playing a woman of somewhat 'questionable' sexual discrimination, John Lehr's portrayal of a completely selfish and insensitive middle manager and Michael McShane as the morally bankrupt (though financially solvent) ex-CEO.
Everyone who has worked in a corporate/office environment can relate to the mix of personalities and feel some sympathy for their predicament. Even if you can't relate to the subject, it's a bright, cheery and funny film. I was expecting some bitterness considering the subject matter, but this is not the case. Although the film certainly contains sharp social commentary on corporate culture and greed, it maintains a high feel-good factor throughout.
Most of the comedy originates from the absurd situations in which the characters find themselves. There is an absolutely hysterical scene involving a ankle bracelet and a painting which is so bizarre and zany that it deserves to be absorbed into cult cinema consciousness.
I highly recommend this film!
I thought it was odd that a film of this quality carries an unflattering numerical rating. Perhaps I want to make thee wold a better place by seeing to it that IMDb provide a more enthusiastic prediction to a client seeking pleasure more likely not to be disappointed if they watch this film, I am pleased that I am expending my valuable efforts in order to help IMDb please their clients with accurate predictions of quality work.
Everything and anything that can go wrong does, as this inept group of ex-Memron employees struggle with the absurdities of starting over from absolutely nothing, while making complete fools of themselves in the process. They are just funny enough that you can laugh at their misfortunes, while at the same time you feel sorry for them. This group of improv actors really made their characters their own, and make their stories believable in every sense. This is a wonderfully amusing movie, and one I would recommend to everyone out there! Terrific directing and cinematography as well! See this movie! You won't regret it!
