Suckers Reviews: More than meets the eye  2009-01-09 - I believe a lot of reviewers shortchanging the movie by limiting its merits to the correct depiction of the brutal car business. Yes, it is true. And yes, the acting is great (I actually think that Benzali's performance is out of this world, it might be equaled but not surpassed, check him out on imdb, he is a world-class actor). And yes, the ending is inserted as a dramatic 'finita la comedia', since this movie
can go on forever and would be as entertaining as Reggie's creativity during the weekly meetings.
But this movie also poses a very important question (granted, it was asked MANY times before): how the one should live his life. By trying to get away with as much as he can and leave the scorched soil behind or by measuring his action against a moral yardstick. And it does in a very entertaining fashion. As such it serves its purpose to the fullest. As far as the answer to the question - a personal decision of the viewer. 5 stars all the way and my favorite movie of all time. I do realize that it is not 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ' or '12 Angry Men', but I can watch it nonstop from any random spot
And another point. Do not we all from time to time feel a 'little Reggie' inside us who in much more polite and sugar-coated manner than in the movie is trying to convince us to 'go for it'. But if we strip sugar-coating what will be left is exactly a 'big Reggie' talking. So if you are in doubt about some moral decision in your life - watch the movie again - it might help in solving your dilemma in one way or another
Very funny movie!  2008-07-16 - Love the movie, couldn't be more true. If you love the car business you will love this movie!!
I've been in the car business and the only thing needed other than a good presentation is a customer who qualifys for a loan. We have been using [...] to help raise our customers credit scores. They are the most affordable and offer nationwide service. Send your customers to them, they get results fast!
Hilarious, from a certain point of view  2006-08-21 - If you have any retail background or sales experience and can handle the overt bigotry and foul language, watch this movie. I can't remember the last time I laughed so strongly watching something. It's audacious, but that's a big part of its charm. How did I come upon this film? My sales manager let me borrow it. It's just that tuned into what the car business feels like at times - but, of course, is nowhere near an accurate representation of current practices... I hope.
Too much cussing, but very accurate portrayal of car dealers  2004-09-18 - I have been a car salesman at a One-Price dealer for 11 years, and this DVD is very funny. The accuracy is pretty spot on for big cities in the old days of car selling. We all got a big kick out of some of the ridiculous stuff on here, as most of it is over the top, but some is very true.
There is an overuse of the F word, and a ridiculous ending, but overall a fun film for car guys. Some of the events are things that I have actually seen before except maybe being left out in the street with no pants after a test drive and subsequent sexual interlude with a beautiful woman...I wish...
I pretty agree w/ James D Fett  2004-08-05 - I think he managed to successfully summarize it...pretty descent flick until it hit it's crushindo...Should have left it like it was. It's almost as if they were trying to do a more exteme/exaggrated version of Glengarry Glenross...
