Comedies From the 1980's to The Aughts. Have You Seen It? I Have Not! Comedies Released Into Theaters From 1980 to 2004 That I Have Never Seen Before.

The gist of it all here, is the power of talking, of conversation and that a good car salesman can talk himself into or out of anything.And wow, is this movie really thirty five years old?Thirty five?Already?Wow.Where does the time go?I would've been graduating from high school right about the time this was released into theaters.Lori Petty looks incredible here. On the verge of my first time ever setting eyes on her, in Point Break.And Tim Robbins had already done Bull Durham by now. And Jacob's Ladder was coming out soon too.Robin Williams. Such a legend. He's great in this.This movie will drive you crazy as a hostage taking type film.And it's hard to take too seriously as that.But it's still a solid movie.They don't make original films like this anymore and definitely not for theaters.This movie is definitely worth a test drive.

everything wacky and everybody loud and trying to be Dog Day Afternoon

Joey O'Brien (Robin Williams) is a relentless car salesman. The car lot is moving and there will fewer sales jobs. He has two days to sell 12 cars to make an impression. He spends all of his money on the women in his life; ex-wife Tina (Pamela Reed), married woman Joy Munchack (Fran Drescher) and party girl Lila (Lori Petty). Then Larry (Tim Robbins) breaks in with a gun suspecting his wife Donna (Annabella Sciorra) is cheating with somebody in the car lot. Donna is grazed by a bullet. Joey tries to take the blame for an affair despite not sleeping with Donna. He tries to talk Larry down as the police surrounds them.Everything is wacky. Everybody is loud. They are all yelling. It is generally not funny except when Robin gets a few laughs with the help of Tim Robbins. I do not see Roger Donaldson as a funny director. It is trying to be Dog Day Afternoon but it does not have the gritty reality. Even the cops are deliberately loud. The police negotiator is one of the most antagonist negotiator in any movie. Everyone is deliberately set on edge and it does not make it funny.
