Salesmen

The idea seemed fine, but the movie could have been half as long. Side stories for every character, while the only inciting action kicks in about 20 minutes before the movie ends. Dialogue is often clunky and awkward. The fact that it was in black and white seemed like a decision made after they found out the cameras weren't white balanced. There's a plot here, but it needed to be edited :/ the description of the movie is actually so little of the movie

just go to stavros' youtube channel instead :/

Me, the grumpy old man, hates the use of black and white filmathography productions... why, cause the world actually is a world of colours, even for colourblind, noone out there sees just black and white, apart from some sinister one per billion syndromists that always ruins MY statistics, and apart from that its a film with good old joke, flimsy caracters and actually some hints of smiling ill admit.

Personally im not the verbal comedy buff, like better the physical pranks comedies, but its within reach even for me, the cast is very localiced gang of actors from the northeast u.s and the flag of independancy hangs up pretty high. So its not a film that promotes the carieere for doorstep salesmenscraftmanship, a real dying species these days,but they are far better than the witnesses and and other moronors that hangs by your door just when you dont want them, so give them a try i will recommend that.

Excellent movie, truly underrated and definitely going in my movie reference list. Well done everyone involved. Found your film on an android tv app and had the best night, will have to watch again with the wife. Im living in Sweden and i dont know how well you are known in the US, but as a foreigner never having been there, I got vibes of GTA5, Seth Rogan, even some classic naked gun style physical humour in there. But at the same time it's a bold choice to shoot in black and white, I mean the white balance alone, just look at clerks 1, but the cameraman and editing department made those shots cinematic. This is the kind of stuff I wish they showed in movies.

Horrible acting mixed with even worse editing....... If you're a quality movie goer just skip this trash and go ahead to whatever else you have saved in your queue......

I watched this because I'm a big fan of Cumtown and I couldn't miss a movie with Stavros Halkias in it. He plays a cult leader who uses a small group of door-to-door salesmen to spread his influence. His performance isn't great but also isn't entirely unrealistic. He distinctly reminds me of an uncharismatic schizophrenic sleazeball I found on YouTube once, who both claimed to be Jesus and tried to prove that the world is inside-out. It's not your typical cult leader performance, as far as my exposure to cult-related films goes, but Stav's performance does fit. He has his great moments.

The rest of the movie is serviceable, and I found most of the jokes funny. The whole thing felt pretty simple and very utilitarian, with no remarkable cinematography, a handful of good sight gags, and one bit of editing that stood out to me (in the "my boss is too busy to talk with you" bit).

The actors generally do a fine job, and some of them have great chemistry together, but I didn't realize until the movie was over that any of them were also comedians. Having looked them up afterward, I feel like there was a lot of wasted potential in this movie. I don't know how good they all are at standup, but I figure they've gotta be more lively and charismatic than they are here. The movie is pretty down-to-earth when I feel like it could go crazy and be more memorable if it relied more on improv and other input from its cast. But maybe it did, and the lead actors still ended up creating something that feels pretty conventional anyway.

If you're interested in Salesmen, it's probably because you recognize at least one of the comedians listed among its cast. If that's the case, then I'd recommend giving it a peek. It probably won't be as exciting as their standup routines, but it still tells a fun story with a handful of good jokes. It's fine!
