What a croc...!

Who cares?!? A supermarket?!?

Isn't mainstream Hollywood cinema about infantile escapism?!? A supermarket!!! Who the hell wants to watch a film about a supermarket?!?

It didn't do well at the box-office...no surprises there!

A word of advice: Do not do a Scottish accent...especially when you cannot do a Scottish accent.

Wholly worthless.

The(ir) Blurb...

At 33, Doug Stauber is ready for a promotion. He's married, wants to buy a house, and is assistant manager at a Chicago supermarket that's building a new store in his neighborhood. His boss tells him he's a shoo-in to manage the new store, then, a rival appears - Richard Wehlner, transferred from Canada. Richard has a deeper resume than Doug, is really nice, has a wife and daughter, and wants the promotion to manager too. How should Doug behave toward Richard - as a friend, a colleague, a competitor, or an enemy? Richard, it seems, has demons and a past, but with the help of motivational tapes, he's resolved to succeed. Corporate and personal tests await the two men.
