Title: Get Real!
Review: Sorry to be out of step here, but this movie is simply awful! Awful because, the "real thing," the allegory for the Reagan Administration, the "evils of the free enterprise system," wasn't real at all. There is no sales office on the planet where this type of "lead chaos," language, mutinous and insubordinate talk, et al goes on - despite those who would like to ascribe the worst to business and business people. Baldwin's character is total BS; contests NEVER are Cadillac, then steak knives, then you're fired. Spacey's character is preposterous as it gets for a sales manager. The "second thoughts" buyer is a well-heeled idiot, and how many of those do you know? Using the "F Word" 500 times in a film does not make the dialog "gritty and real." Yes, some of the performances were top notch, and yes, there ARE a great many abuses in business, we see that every day, unfortunately; but this is just nonsense on a big screen.
Is the review positive or negative?
