This film may have been marketed as a "hilarious" comedy, but that's not what it is. That doesn't mean it's bad, just that it needed a little help to get viewed, or, in an ironic way, to get the "job" of people wanting to see it. The great cast alone should do that (and the performances are all very good), but let's face it, there's a lot of competition for eyeballs, most of which expect to see a constant stream of outrageous situations in "R" rated big screen comedies. This is not the first film whose ad copy oversells the funny (e.g., "The Bucket List.")
"Get a Job" is not over-the-top trendy-edgy like "The Hangover" or "Bridesmaids," but even though it zips back and forth between several story lines, everything feels fairly authentic and relatable, considering. That's a sign of a well-made film, which this is.
