My second feature today was another comedy, the bigger-budget film The Promotion. It's a little slow paced - quite a bit slower than the last film - but it has the deep, evolving character development that the other film (The Marconi Bros.) lacked. You get to like both main characters, which left me sad for part of the film because one of them had to lose. I'm sure that wasn't the director's intent, and the story works out acceptably in the end. Maybe I'm just burnt out on the genre right now. I skipped my next film - yet another straight-up comedy - and look forward to the comedic gore fest that awaits at midnight.
The Promotion
2008, 85 minutes, directed by Steven Conrad
