It’s a bachelors life

I can’t pinpoint exactly what I liked about this flick, but I did. It’s not as funny as the trailer makes it out to be. It is funny but not in a slapstick way, as you might expect from Seann William Scott.

At 33, Doug Stauber is ready for a promotion. He’s married, wants to buy a house, and is assistant manager at a Chicago supermarket that’s building a new store in his neighborhood. His boss tells him he’s a shoe in to manage the new store, then, a rival appears – Richard Wehlner, transferred from Canada. Richard has a deeper resume than Doug, is really nice, has a wife and daughter, and wants the promotion to manager, too. How should Doug behave toward Richard – as a friend, a colleague, a competitor, or an enemy? Richard, it seems, has demons and a past, but with the help of motivational tapes, he’s resolved to succeed. Corporate and personal tests await the two men.

Like I said I liked it, some good laughs, a good story and worth the time invested. Don’t be scared off by Stifler or Dewey Cox, they can actually act.

Watch the trailer.
