It's hard to tell here if Seann William Scott is taking a step up into a film with a little more substance here (which wouldn't take much for the guy who was in Dude Where's My Car? and all three American Pie movies) or if John C. Reilly is dumbing himself down. I'm going to hope it's the former, since we also have Jenna Fischer and Lili Taylor in the (much less important) female roles here. The premise is that Seann William (or is it just Seann?) and John are both losers in dead-end jobs. John also might be kind of a racist, but that's not supposed to make us dislike him, because he's just trying to support his family. And even though Seann's girlfriend Jenna is happy to be the breadwinner, Seann cannot let that happen because he's a guy. So much for feminism and equality and all that. Instead, let's root for our grocery-store-managing heroes as they compete for a job at an even better grocery store (hence the film's title). Obviously they can't both get the job. Or can they? The trailer isn't making it clear who we're supposed to be rooting for, which makes me think there will have to be some twist of fate allowing them both to succeed in life. The moral of the story: Being a loser is okay as long as you have a job. The end.
