One-dimensional space and character
In physics and mathematics, a sequence of n numbers can specify a location in n-dimensional space. When n = 1, the set of all such locations is called a one-dimensional space. As for this movie, it too is one-dimensional when it comes to its characters. It is not a good sign when your subplots are more interesting than the main focus. Although Seann William Scott is a good actor, he is in the shadow of John C. Reilly’s character and story. Like John C. Reilly character, the movie wastes its entire supporting cast. Fred Armisen. Jenna Fischer and. Bobby Cannavale have great characters that go nowhere. Exploited background characters at best, each had potential in expanding their storyline but falls short. The story has great merit but fails very short near anything great. The potential of the plot could have focused more on the American job market, the financial realities of an economy, issues of diversity and race in the workforce and rivalry in the sexes in the job market could all have been showcased, but falls second to a weak plot that is empty and leaves its audience unfulfilled with any moral conclusion or resolution outside of a weak dark comedy that is neither dramatic or funny.
I’m Promoting “The Promotion”
This movie is FAR better than the 5.6 star rating it has. Well written, hilarious, subtle, poignant, well-acted. The premise is so beautifully simple, but the movie is rich with human interest/condition situations. It’s definitely a sleeper/winner and worth the watch.
