Release Year: 2008
Review: With a familiar plot, The Promotion, relies on its two stars Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly to turn the battle for the promotion into a fresh comedy. Unfortunately the director Steve Conrad fails miserably. The talents of both Scott and Reilly are squandered in this borderline narcoleptic mess. The 'battle' for the promotion is little more than a slap fight and the comedy muted by refrain, as this film to takes no chances. Very little is funny, and nothing new is tried. This was an odd case of a film starring two of the top comedic actors working feeling like it should have been straight to DVD and forgotten about.
Rating: 2/5
