This is a poorly written script that was chopped together without any flowing pace. Given the premise and the cast, I really thought it would be a winner, boy was I wrong. The comedy bits are so transparent and telegraphed that when the punchline finally arrives, it's really not funny. The Selleck Sales force is ridiculous...why would a failing business employ so many people especially a prejudiced senile war veteran who verbally and physically abuses both employees and potential customers. I, for one, can only guess that Will Ferrell had a lot to do with the direction this film went as it has his un-humorous fingerprints all over it. Once I recognized this, everything about this movie became clear as to why it was so hard to sit through, and why Forbes.com voted Will Ferrell the most overpaid actor in Hollywood. Save yourself the hour and a half of your life and do something better ...like watch paint dry. (Like I said...Don't say you weren't warned)
