Rating: Summary: Very much like the car business I know... Review: .. Okay, well everything but the shoot em up and big drug thing. The story is told in a style that anyone in the car biz can and will relate to. I watched it with the neighbors. I laughed myself sick while they didn't get it. It wasn't funny to them. But, hey, that's how I learned the game. It's a great flcik. Buy it. And if you like this sort of stuff, buy "Slasher" the DVD and "Cars and People: Pissing at 60 Miles an Hour" and "Cars and People: How to Put the Two Together" if you're in the business of course.
Rating: Summary: BROWN FACES FOR ALL RACES Review: American Latino movies are typically about one of three things: gangs, the barrio, or la familia. While some of these movies are great, most are pretty awful. Go to the video store and you'll see dozens of them sitting on the shelves collecting dust because Latino audiences are tired of seeing themselves portrayed through the same stereotypes over and over again. People wonder why hollywood is nervous about making modern "Latino" movies, it's because they've all been made already! Suckers is the first movie by Latinos I've seen that is about people who happen to be brown, but could just as easily be any other color. There are no references to Latino culture, family, or gangs, and I find it refreshing. And a comedy? How many Latino comedies are there? You can probably count them on one hand. While its vulgar slapstick humor isn't exactly my style, it still managed to squeeze a few laughs out of me. Suckers stands alone in a movie niche that's wide open.
Rating: Summary: Right on the money!! Review: Been in the biz 6 months. So far it is 100% right on!! You will laugh ...if you have ever been or are now in the car business. "What do I have to do to get you to buy this movie TODAY"!!
Rating: Summary: Awesome Review: Being a former car salesman. I can honestly say that this movie hits it on the head. A must see for anyone who has ever bought a car or anyone who has worked in the car business. Wow, this movie brought back alot of memories. Great job Mr. Nygard.
Rating: Summary: True to form Review: being in the car business for the last six years, and being around it for my entire life, i've seen just about every type of car salesman. This movie has nailed every one of them. From the aggressive sales manager, to the sympathetic one, the green pea, to the old car dog. This movie shows the darker side of car sales, it takes the darker side to the extreme. I would strongly recommend this movie to anyone who is, or has been, in car sales.
Rating: Summary: Right on the money Review: EVERYTHING in that movie, including the sale of dope, I have seen in the dealership. Scumbags? Seen em. Former hit squad member trying to make money to bring relatives out of a third world country? Worked with one. Customers in way over their head in buyers remorse? Seen it. Sex with a customer? Done it. I have lived this life, and the only thing missing is the portrayal of the absolute mental grind that people with a conscience experience on a daily basis. It is the very reason that good people don't stay in the business.Except for It the last 10 minutes, this movie is everyday occurences in dealerships all across America. It is funny. Real. And very powerful. Watching the family who can't afford the car they bought is something that I have seen dozens of times over a few years. This is a must-see for people who want to know what the car business can really be like.
Rating: Summary: "The horror of reality." Review: Forget "Used Cars" & "Cadillac Man". "Suckers" is why I left the buisness. The first time I saw this film I sat with mouth gaping. Every line spoken by Daniel Benzali I had heard over and over again, in every sales meeting, on every car lot I had worked. This movie is 100% real, with the exception of the drug dealing foul ups. That of couse would never happen. Car salesmen are not that sloppy.
Rating: Summary: Decent movie until it degrades into a low-rent caper flick Review: Good writing, pacing, and direction. Suckers made me laugh out loud several times, and was a good movie on its own merit until the direction takes a left turn into Quentin Tarrantinoville. The movie would have been a lot better had they stuck to the salesman theme.

Rating: Summary: Better than it looks! Review: Great movie! I went in thinking it would be really stupid and came out laughing hard. I thought maybe it was just me, but even my friends loved it too. If you're in sales you'll really get a kick out of it - especially if you're in car sales!
It's well worth the money and it's one of those obscure titles that's a definite nugget.
