Super Sucker

This film was good, the acting was wonderful , Jeff Daniels did a Great job as the Super Sucker Salesman- anyone who has ever sold vacuums and love vacuums this is a wonderful movie, they will find this a treasure. For everyone else, it's an off beat funny movie that you'll enjoy. Although it probably won't go well in the theaters due to the advertising of this movie, it is worth seeing. The supporting Cast is Great, Matt Letscher (Howard) was Hilarious, he was a wonderful addition to the film, a stand out performance.. If you have a chance -go see this movie, on the whole you will enjoy it, some parts are a bit off center and have you thinking "What??" , but the comedy is great!

This movie won't make a clean sweep at the Oscars. And maybe it does suck and blow at the same time. Still, plenty of women--and men--will love Fred Barlow's attachments just as much as his wife does. His housewives' little helper turned her into a real dust Bunny and put the "make" back in "homemaking."

I don't know how Jeff Daniels did it, but somehow, in a movie where the hook is a vacuum cleaner used for women's pleasure, there are plenty of bare behinds, but none of them female! Sorry, guys. You won't get to see the Super Sucker panty hose directly applied. Oh, you'll see plenty, but this isn't triple X. The film is filled with innuendo; and yet, some people think the only thing dirty about the movie is the carpet.

Despite its lack of profanity, Super Sucker isn't for everyone. Jerry Falwell will want to stay home, and we'll all be better off if Pee Wee Herman stays home, too.

Believe it or not, this outrageous tale about two competing door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen actually has some basis in fact. According to the "Cyber-Space Vacuum Cleaning Museum," the Kirby vacuum cleaner used to come with a "Swedish Massage" attachment. But, kids, don't do this at home! If you're foolish enough to find out if it's really true that nobody does it like Hoover, you may not be able to reproduce--and that's a good thing for all of us.

One movie-goer commented that the beginning of Super Sucker was great, but then it slowed down the rest of the way. My fiancé loved it, though, and I thought it really picked up in the end.

In the vein of Kingpin, Office Space and Airplane. Super Sucker isn't as funny as any of those movies but, considering it's budget, is still pretty impressive. Fans of "dumb" comedies will probably like, not love, this move.

No this was no great achievement in cinema and would certainly never win any awards. But I am a "vacuum cleaner salesman." And it was so accurate it was obscenely funny. Now I have never sold anything for self-pleasure but the idea that it would boost sales to the level they achieved makes me want to consider my own "homemakers little helper." Hey, sex sells. Some of the more accurate statements made: "Negativity: we deny its very existence." And "Hello, my name is (your name here) and I'm POSITIVE!!!! Anyone who has ever done any type of sales job will appreciate the constant bits of hilarity and already know that "nothing is as important as winning a contest!" Cult classic, at least in the sales world.

Which is a compliment, if you've seen it. Its plot is puerile in nature and a base in concept, which will offend the gentle viewer. However, for those who are comfortable enough deal with the nature of the show will find themselves wanting to roll on the floor laughing.

I am particularly delighted how they put the fifties vacuum salesman into today's world, but gave the movie a fifties look and feel. The lighting, styling and many of the mannerisms of the characters had you jumping back and forth between the eras.

This movie, like Escanaba in Da Moonlight, had the strong sense of having been a play. Many of the stagings and acting parts jumped out and said this is a play stage scenario.

Go see this movie and enjoy it. Don't let your insecurity chase you away.
