Eleison_Lilium I've seen seemingly thousands of films and this was by far one of the worst. The dialogue was horrid and sounded like it was thrown together by an immature child the night before they started filming. Another thing that cracked me up was the extras. Now, I know they aren't supposed to be "professional" actors but once you see the crowd on day one of their car sales (if you even make it that far), you'll be scratching your head at how such a god-awful film even made it into theaters.Overall, if you're into brainless and tasteless "comedies" with some of the worst acting known to man; this is for you.

Mark Geiger Let me start off by saying this movie is a terrible movie. The plot is ridiculous and the characters are cheap. With that being said, this movie may be the most funny movie I have ever seen. Other reviews are correct saying that the movie delivers joke after joke. Other reviews are correct in saying the comedy is crude. However when watching a movie like this you have to be open minded. If you take offense to things easily then this is not the movie for you. If you have an open mind and are just ready to laugh then 'The Goods' will deliver. It is a subjective comedy. Aren't all comedies though? I hate to see people give such bad reviews because the humor of the comedy offends them. The movie is raunchy and hilarious from start to finish. All the characters in the movie are over the top, but thats the point. 'The Goods' isn't supposed to be a good movie with excellent acting and a great feel good story. Its supposed to be a movie designed to make you laugh. Take it for what it is and you will enjoy what it has to offer.

Floated2 The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard is a real awful and unfunny movie. 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, but it was bad. The humour is very weak and this movie tried very hard to be funny, and most times when that happens it ends up being very lame like this did. 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.The plot was also weak. He was just selling cars for his purpose which was weird. And by the time it happened, the main character Jeremy Piven's character didn't even sell anything. The other characters were so annoying and obnoxious. Really hardly any of the characters were likable. It was just awful and their were many awkward and unfunny parts, like Ving Rhames character making out with a female half his age, and Kathryn Hahn's character trying to get a 10 year-old in an adult's body to like her. Their were just too many awkward and disturbing scenes, not to mention necessary uses of the F-bombs. This could have been better with a better script and had it been longer. Like they didn't show them actually selling the cars at the end. It was rushed.Overall this movie was just bad and awful to watch, what a waste of time

thesar-2 You know, a lot of my friends and work peers think I'm too hard on the movies. Too negative. That I don't just sit back, leave my brain at the door and enjoy the movie, because, you must realize, they've never hated a movie or had a bad experience at the cinema, ever. If they ran their own review site, they'd rate every single movie as 5/5 stars and you know what? They would be the studio's best friend and probably appear on more than a dozen movie posters with their stinking thumbs up. Despite all that, perhaps I might agree with them a little; perhaps it's time to lighten up a bit.So, I watched The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard and I have to say: why start disappointing my fans now? This movie sucked. It had such talent at hand, so many (enormously missed) opportunities for humor and the number one (Jeremy "Ari Gold" Piven) person to pull off the ultimate sale, not just for the poor car-customers in the movie, but to the audience that this movie is worth its ticket price. Not only could he sell an ice cube to a South Park character in hell, he couldn't even get into the top 5 for its opening box office weekend.We have somewhat smooth talking Don (Piven) leading a sales team from town-to-town to reenergize failing car dealerships, and since you know he never thinks about settling down, you then know exactly where this movie is headed.He lands in a no-nothing town in California, falls for an already spoken for daughter and works the closeted father into selling all cars on the lot in order to save the family-run business. Yes, that's right; they actually used a 1970s sitcom idea (mostly used in The Brady Bunch) for the entire movie.In this economy, say for the past 4 years, this should've been the ideal escapism. Again, they had tremendous opportunities for laughs, and went for either the obvious, juvenile humor or just let the moment pass with my mouth agape at the wasted scene. In addition, the fully booked cast, most of the regulars from movies like The Hangover mostly stood around and looked like they were improvising everything since they basically had no script to go by.I will admit, there were a few small laughs – mostly with Ferrell's cameo, but with what could've been PIven's huge break-through into starring roles – this role was made for him!! – even he looked bored. Or anxious to leave the lot and go back to HBO.Skip it. I'd almost rather have the used-car dealer lie to me than attempt to make me laugh.
