5/5 Very Well Written
  by cafe goddess
This is a very well written movie about how life isn't always what it seems. Just when you think life's plan is already laid out and things appear to be set in stone, and there is nothing you can do to have it go your way, life does a 360 and surprises you. That is pretty much how things turn out for the two main characters of "Promotion". Two good performances from the leading actors, and the story flows. If you work with someone, and you are competing for a promotion, you should see this movie, not only can you relate, but it may make you feel better when in the situation when it seems that the other candidate has the leading edge over you. Life isn't always what it seems!

5/5 Highly Recommended.

I really liked this movie. You won't be dissapointed. The end brings an unexpected revelation about the main character, that will surprise everybody.

4/5 Funny Movie

I would not consider this movie to be thought provoking. It's a good movie to watch when you have had a hard day at work or you just want to be entertained.

4/5 Joe's Review
  by joseph furniss (Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom)
Seann William Scott is excellent in this movie. John C Reilly & Jenna Fischer are underused. Also Lili Taylor's Scottish accent, is one of the worst I have ever heard!! ON an overall opinion though, the movie is a nice tale about one man's efforts to better himself, not only for himself, but for the sake of his family. Scott's on sccreen chemistry with Reilly, really makes this movie work.

3/5 Pretty Good!!!

I thought this was just okay. There were a few funny moments, but nothing that really made me laugh out loud. Doug and Richard both try to get the manager job offered at the supermarket that they work at. If you like Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly, you might like THE PROMOTION!!!
