Salesmen

Great movie and found the jokes to be entertaining. Good cast and thought it was cool seeing Stavros Halkias, Pi Kappa Phi alumni on the big screen. The only thing that was a drawback was that I couldn't stop myself from falling into an episode of what is called colloquially by the name of the Thousand Island Stare. It is not to be mistaken with the thousand yard stare, which many people with PTSD experience. The Thousand Island Stare is much more sinister, which ends up going really well with and compliments the dark nature of the movies' plot, which is like a kiss on the cheek by a very handsome Greek chef, akin to the star Stavros Halkias.

I saw and was thoroughly entertained-hopefully my neighbors weren't to put off by my obnoxious laughter, the movie made me do it! It's jokes were just the right amount of awkward & 'I can't believe you just said that' for me to be amused throughout the film. I can't speak to your preference of comedy but if you've a background in sales or perhaps ever just attempt to convince your friend of something you should be able to relate to the WAY & HOW the points are expressed in the film. The actors performances were really good and while I'm unfamiliar with any of the cast' previous work, here they definitely seemed to embody the roles they portrayed. I feel like their more realistic portrayal of these characters was very well scripted and actually kept me attempting to relate to the situations that they were dealing with. That being said I hope I never end up in such a ridiculous situation but that silliness of it all is what kept me interested until the end.

Watched this film with no foreknowledge of creators' backgrounds. Within a minute I knew this was one of those films I would have to accept on its own terms if I were to have any chance of enjoying it.

Well I "got on board" and was well rewarded for my decision to do so. There is not a shred of cynicism in this oddball low budget comedy. That alone made it worthwhile for me. Devoid of irony as well (in this post-ironic era). There is no "meta" here. No self consciousness. It's just a quirky comedy written and performed with sincerity. How refreshing!

I didn't laugh out loud. But I smiled till my face hurt. For me the comic value of this "comedy" was superseded by the full commitment of the ensemble to make the thing work. They were "on board". And that kept me "on board" This type of commitment used to be the hallmark of most low budget narrative indies. Not so much anymore.

Alas.

The idea seemed fine, but the movie could have been half as long. Side stories for every character, while the only inciting action kicks in about 20 minutes before the movie ends. Dialogue is often clunky and awkward. The fact that it was in black and white seemed like a decision made after they found out the cameras weren't white balanced. There's a plot here, but it needed to be edited :/ the description of the movie is actually so little of the movie

just go to stavros' youtube channel instead :/

I get it, I get it...comparing it to cult 'neo-classics'.... It's the characters, premise, pace, and style that makes this unique. It's the new shtick. This film has it...loads of it, while not being caught up trying to be edgy.
