The Promotion on DVD
by manz
The Promotion is a new hilarious workplace comedy. Doug ( Seann William Scott) works as an assistant manager at a corporate grocery store and, according to his boss ( Fred Armisen), is a “shoe in” to manage the new store that’s being built. That is until a do-gooder from Canada named Richard ( John C. Reilly) shows up and gives Doug a run for his money. Loads of in-store antics take place as they compete for the promotion, while their eager wives ( Jenna Fischer & Lili Taylor) look on, each convinced that their husband will take the prize in the end. Throughout the film both men are tested by corporate and by each other to play the game to come out ahead, with only minor tater tot throwing. A poignant line from the film is when Richard says to Doug, "We're all just out here trying to get food. Sometimes we bump into each other."
