The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009) - Jeremy Piven
A quick search showed that there was no topic yet for this movie. Here is the link to the restricted trailer for those of you who haven't already seen it:

Just enter your birthdate (or a fake birthdate) and check it out. I gotta say, after watching that trailer, this movie jumped to the top of my must-see list for the rest of 2009. Jeremy Piven is the fucking man! And the rest of the casting ain't too shabby either.

I'll see it. That strip club is Downtown near Staples Center. Cough, cough, so I'm told.

Looks good.
If anyone's interested, John Landis directed "Slasher" a few years back. It's a documentary about the same type of car-salesmen group. And I say 'doc', but it might has well been fiction, as the guy's life, craft, and career are all kind of kooky.

I'll definitely see this. Jeremy Piven seems awesome in this, and Ving Rhames seems like he could steal the whole thing away. Plus Buster from Arrested Development is in it!

This opens Friday and I keep seeing TV spots for it so I thought I'd give it a bump.
Anyone else going to see it this weekend?

I'm looking forward to this.

I think a (pseudo) remake of Used Cars is a good thing. As long as there are fresh, funny jokes in it, basic comedy plots can be remade again and again because no one sees a comedy for the plot.

I like what I've seen so far, especially the Will Farrell clip, but I think my dislike for Piven is going to keep me from seeing this any time soon.
That and District 9.

Jeremy Piven and Ken Jeong in the film make it an instant sell for me.

I loathe Jeremy Piven with a passion. And not just because of all the stories I read where he's considered the biggest douche bag in the business (Google it sometime). His performances always come across just so smug and self assuring. Still, this film looks funny. Just don't know if I can get past him to see it.

I don't get it - this looks good? I didn't laugh or smile once during either theatrical or red-band trailer. Is this another one of those movies for "real" Americans? (I hated Talladega Nights and Anchorman as well).
I'm not a fan of Piven, but I'm glad to see him get another shot at headlining a film since PCU.

Because they made another movie about used car salesmen 30 years ago, the topic is now verboten?

You can watch the best scenes from this movie on the web for free - so I paid $10 to see about 5 jokes that worked. The Will Ferrell scenes are the funniest part of the movie, with Kathryn Hahn, James Brolin and Dave Koechner having some of the other good material, but most of the jokes here fall FLAT. The editing was shit and the movie really walks through the tired paces, cramming in horribly tired romantic subplots and even though I love Ed Helms, boy band jokes have been done to fucking death. I was bored for most of this, only chuckled a few times. Piven really phones it in and the script really doesn't do any of these talented comedians any favours. Watch Used Cars and save yourself the agony. 1.5/5 stars.

This was really bad. I was really looking forward to it to. Piven needs to stick to television... he only works in movies when he plays "random friend of John Cusack's character".
