Oscar-nominated actor, John C. Reilly ("Chicago," "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby") and Seann William Scott ("American Pie") lend their deft comedic touch to the story of two mid-level Chicago supermarket employees %u2013 Doug and Richard, a dubious new guy from Canada - who compete ruthlessly for a coveted managerial post at a new store location. Doug and Richard could not be more different, but going head-to-head in a contest of wits and will reveals how they have more in common than they once suspected. The duo battle toward a hilarious final showdown that will leave you guessing until the very end. The film is the directorial debut of Steve Conrad, the writer of the "The Pursuit of Happyness."

There really wasn't enough funny in it, and it moved quite slow. Really didn't like this one much.

Typical dark comedy, but seemed to be a bit more formulaic than I had hoped it would be. Would have liked to see more of the competition between them versus what was presented. Still enjoyable to watch though.
