Trailer for Jeremy Piven's The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

vegeta88 · 08-20-2009, 04:47 AM

Just got back from seeing it. I thought it was pretty funny; thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It kind of felt a little like a Will Ferrel knowck off (you know the kind) but it was unique in a lot of ways. I would suggest it to anyone who thought the trailers were funny as I did; if not, you probably wouldn't enjoy it.

I want to see this in the next week or two. I think it looks great. I added a poll so you could rate it.

Saw it on opening night. I really enjoyed it. Jeremy Piven actually showed up at the theater and said hello to everyone before the movie started. I was at an AMC in Chicago and he was in town for the Cubs game. He actually grew up in Chicago.

I own Used Cars on DVD... I will be checking this out sometime soon.

OMG! That's awesome! Jeremy Piven is pretty cool. Movies never premiere is Sacramento (Sac-o-tomatoes)

I gave it 4/5. Definitely worth my money and I'd go again if a a different friend wanted to see it but it's not going to be in my Blu-ray collection day 1.

Yeah I just happened to be in Chicago on Vacation. I had heard he was in town and thought there was a good chance he would go to a showing, it was just luck I guess that he came to the theater near my hotel in Downtown off of Michigan Ave. He was pretty cool and let a lot of ppl get pics with him but I did not bother him, it was just cool enough to be in the same room.

I'll wait until the local dollar theater gets it. I want to see but not shelling out $7.50 for a ticket to see that.

As much as I dislike Jeremy Piven this movie actually looks like it may be pretty funny. May have to check it out this weekend.

I almost got up and left but I figured I would ride it out in the hopes that it would get good. The trailer made it look funny but sadly the movie did not live up to it. My wife looked at me after it was over and I actually felt bad for having taken her to see it

At least it was a sneak preview so it didn't cost anything more then a few dollars in gas.

I thought the trailer was pretty accurate to the film as a whole but I guess that was just my taste. Too bad you didn't enjoy it but at least you didn't waste too much money. I thought certain lines in the movie were classic and hilarious.

SonOfArathorn · 08-22-2009, 03:16 AM

Even if it is the same old Piven-schtick I'll still get it when it arrives on Blu. Piven is one of my faves, although that Journey to India he did kind of exposed him as a phony IMO. Big surprise right? Actors being phony.

Call_Me_Megatron · 08-22-2009, 03:21 AM

I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious. I get the feeling this will develop a cult following similar to Office Space. Piven was great even if he was basically playing Ari Gold, but I love Ari so I was more than happy.

Can't wait to see the inevitable unrated edition on Blu-ray. I'm also looking forward to what types of deleted or extended scenes they have as well as any blooper reels.

I don't think it had been 15 minutes before I took the walk. I think half of what was funny in the previews I had already seen and the other half was just boring.
