Bovine gags in horrendous The Goods

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard
Gross-out comedy: The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard

By Derek Malcolm

With a halfway decent screenplay and a director who is not Neal Brennan, this gross-out comedy might have worked.

Alas, the actual result is horrendous.

Jeremy Piven is a wannabe rock star in the second-hand car business who is taken on by a down-at-heel car lot owner (James Brolin).

Ving Rhames, David Koechner, Babs Merrick and Charles Napier are also in the cast.

They look as if they could provide more laughs but are defeated by bovine gags retrieved from a trashcan full of out-takes.

Details are correct at the time of publication - please check with venue before booking.
