The Promotion
Crit
This reminds me a lot of Election (one scene, in fact, is practically lifted intact), if Election were set in a supermarket and if it weren't remotely as well written, directed, or acted. John C. Reilly and Lili Taylor are always as good as they can be, of course, but he's basically just given a weaker version of his Magnolia role, and she seems to have been given a Scottish accent on a bet (I can think of no legitimate reason), which leaves us still waiting to be shown that Seann William Scott can handle a lead role.
Also, what's the damn deal telling a story set in Chicago, with several scenes on the CTA, without actually shooting more than a handful of scenes in Chicago, and none on the CTA?
