The Promotion poster

Remember when that move EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH came out whenever ago and it tanked, because Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson were in it, and because it probably wasn’t funny? Well there’s a new movie out looking to do the corporate go-getter genre justice, and it’s called THE PROMOTION. Below is the one-sheet for the film, starring Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly, who seems to fully be abandoning his career as a dramatic actor at this point. I won’t bother regurgitating the plot because that would be an insult to the straightforward poster. The movie has a pretty solid cast, with people like Bobby Cannavale, Jenna Fischer, Lili Taylor, and Fred Armisen in supporting roles. The film, for reasons unbeknownst to me was previously called QUEBEC, and a reviewer from the Hollywood Reporter called it “one of the unfunniest comedies of all time.” Oops!
