I think that it is funny reading all these comments about how this movie is another mindless Will Ferrell like comedy. Apparently no one here has seen the movie Used Cars, or the movie Slasher about a team of sellers who... Full review

Greetings again from the darkness. Billed as 'from the makers of Talladega Nights and Anchorma', this one doesn't come close to either. Sure Adam McKay and Will Ferrell as listed Producers, and Mr Ferrell has another of his unending string of... Full review
Not much of a story in Hard sell.

Not much of a story in hard sell. Comedy can not be funny without a good story. Hard sell has no story and just throws in some shock, sex jokes, over the top comments, and sight gags. Funny for a few... Full review

"The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" could have been a very engaging experience for the art of selling cars. A car salesman, like the trusty insurance salesman and proficient civil attorney, is a hustler in his own right. He or she... Full review

A great R rated comedy with some amazing guitar rock songs in the soundtrack. I was pleased to hear the band 'RADIO MOSCOW' not only in the soundtrack, but also to hear the band's name said in a strip-joint scene. Radio... Full review

There are many kinds of comedy, and many kinds of movies, and some, like, say, REPO MAN, exist as an entity unto themselves because they defy classification. Such is THE GOODS. From moment one, it is unapologetically, unabashedly, entirely its own... Full review

Can someone get Jeremy Piven a back brace? Anything I see this guy in, Entourage included, he always has to carry the show. The supporting cast is OK but could have done better with the great comic lines they were given.... Full review

This movie is hilarious. Now I know a lot of people are going to see this movie and think that it was nothing more than trashy jokes and immature humor, but that was the point of the movie. It was intentionally... Full review

Watching The Goods , some may recall a much better movie, the splendidly silly and vulgar Robert Zemeckis comedy Used Cars .....that's what makes Piven so funny in the role.....Piven would have been great in the film.....Piven has been knocking around movies and TV since the '80s as a reliable comic character actor.... ...
