Editorial Review:
Ted (Keaton), top salesman at the Bindview sales company, is forced to show new hire and midwest transplant, Jamie (Fraser), the ropes. Jamie’s enthusiasm isn’t squashed by Ted’s cynical and angry personality, but after he fails to make sale after sale, Jamie quickly becomes disillusioned with the big city. When Jamie introduces Ted to his beautiful fiancé, Belisa (Valletta), the hard-bitten salesman falls hard, and when they begin an illicit affair, the real Ted emerges; losing the bitter edge that made him a great salesman. Jamie continues to fail at the sales game and Ted’s guilt over the affair prompts him to feed Jamie his own sales leads to try and keep him afloat. Even as Bindview begins to lose profitability, Ted becomes increasingly focused on Belisa and his sales start to suffer. It is only when the company falls victim to a hostile takeover, that the ingenious con is revealed.
The Last Time Reviews:
very gd plot, gds story, havent seen too much of this 
2008-10-15 - gd plot, kind of well written screenplay, could have been more interesting. shooting could have been much more interesting too. story tells how the business world would have gone all the ways to take their enemies down. even sending staffs over to the other company as someone else...very interesting indeed, just not shot 1 st class.
Great movie 
2008-01-25 - Wonderful performance by Keaton. I agree that you may think the movie is a little corny until you get to the end, and then it all makes sense. It's all for a reason.
Part humor, part romance...
2007-09-30 - This is a comedy that turns serious as a bitter salesman realizes he can still fall in love, and not with money. The problem is, he doesn't realized he's being duped and his company is being taken down...one salesman at a time by a bigwig that likes to thin out heavy competition. Will everyone open their eyes in time? I would've liked a different ending, but it was a good watch.

Cheesy 
2007-09-11 - What a cheesy movie. Made no sense and I got so tired of Brendan Fraser over acting. Sorry guys. Wish it could have been better.
Good movie - surprise ending
2007-08-21 - I love movies where the plot centers around work and money. This movie was very entertaining. Michael Keaton was great, as usual - top of his game. The plot was full of twists and turns. The ending was completely different from what I expected---a complete surprise.
