Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Scott_Mercer This is more in the vein of the Coen Brothers than the Zucker Brothers really, or at least their comedies. "Quirky" is the watchword here. Bits of the Hudsucker Proxy (other than the similarities in the name) and Raising Arizona, with the jaundiced eye of the outsider looking in on a white-bread culture that died a merciful death. Jeff Daniels stars as Fred Barlow, the psychotically devoted leader of a vacuum cleaner distributorship who's behind the 8-ball to sell more product. He comes upon an insightful innovation that helps him rise to the top once more. Lots of goof ball action by dorky Midwestern white people in the out-of-place, out-of-time milieu of the fictional Johnson City, where two teams of vacuum cleaner salespeople vie to take over the territory. Mock melodramatic speeches, inappropriate stirring music cues, and gang fights between vacuum cleaner salesmen. The characters seem plucked from a 1950's sitcom, even though the setting is supposedly present day. Do they even sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door anymore? Gotta love Jeff Daniels' sharkskin suit. Overall, quite amusing if it's on cable, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find it.Jeff Daniels directed this, and I think he did a swell job, gosh darn it! Sy Suckerton would be proud as punch!Fred Barlow: "Did I ever have sex with your mother? No? Too bad, you would have made a hell of an illegitimate son."
softballerstud12 No this was no great achievement in cinema and would certainly never win any awards. But I am a "vacuum cleaner salesman." And it was so accurate it was obscenely funny. Now I have never sold anything for self-pleasure but the idea that it would boost sales to the level they achieved makes me want to consider my own "homemakers little helper." Hey, sex sells. Some of the more accurate statements made: "Negativity: we deny its very existence." And "Hello, my name is (your name here) and I'm POSITIVE!!!! Anyone who has ever done any type of sales job will appreciate the constant bits of hilarity and already know that "nothing is as important as winning a contest!" Cult classic, at least in the sales world.
diggler_inc This is the worst film to come along since "Dude, Where's my Car?" It has a funny premise but it doesn't handle it well. This is an extremely silly movie, but I don't mean that in a good way. It is too silly and stupid to be funny. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
brielle629 You got to give it up for Super Sucker! I saw a screener and thought it was a great original comedy set in the Midwest. Jeff Daniel's performance definately makes this movie a laugh riot. It is good to see Jeff Daniels come back to Michigan and come up with this great comedy. Who would have thought that Vacuum Cleaner Salesmen have such a naughty non traditional side! Overall I would say this movie is definately worth checking out to see Jeff Daniels at work!
