The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard

In a desperate attempt to save his rapidly failing used car dealership, Ben Selleck hires a crack team of “car mercenaries” to ramp up sales during the Fourth of July weekend. Led by the fast-talking, foul-mouthed, self-assured Don “The Goods” Ready, the group has three days to sell over 200 cars. But as Don undertakes his newest mission, and quickly falls for the boss’s daughter Ivy, he realizes he’ll have to trust more than his cars and his crafty skills in deceit to make a success out of the daunting weekend.

Jeremy Piven tries to capitalise on his Entourage character Ari Gold in this B Movie escapade which makes for light watching. With cameos from Hollywood worst investment actor Will Farrell and the lead singer of the band ‘The Good Old Boys’ from The Blues Brothers I did enjoy this film.

What makes it great is watching for other actors who are making it big and coming forth from hits like The Hangover, and Couple Retreat. There are more people out there that can be included it seems in the Frat Pack.

The film itself is a simple story, with funny scenes sown in to make it more then an apprentice style challenge with one of them getting fired at the end of the show. One of the highlights for me was the Animal House style where are they now end title sequence.

Don’t rush out to buy this as it will be disappointing, but look out for it on the movie channels and settle in with a few beers and the boys. But there are moments that tears may just roll down your face with the carnage that can be involved in selling some cars.
