Unexpectedly good work

I thought it was a good comedy before watching the movie, after all, come on, it'a Scott /Reilly movie. In fact, it is not a comedy in the strict sense, a little bit of dark humor and a little bit of banter. Of course, there are many funny settings, such as the gay playing the piano next door behind the thin wall, but the reality of the two people's tactics in the battle for supervisors brings out a sense of reality that goes far beyond the weight of comedy. It can be said that the performances of the two protagonists just restore the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play, which can drive the audience to immerse themselves in it. The ending of the final upswing shows the power of warmth. Love the last sentence scott said after he got the post "so was I the better man? I don't know. I just feel like a man". A story about ordinary people in the workplace competing for promotion opportunities, and a highly watchable movie.

[Richard explains to the board of directors the sign that cited the deli clerk as employee of the month for "cutting the cheese."]
Richard: 'Cutting the cheese' simply means 'cutting the actual cheese'. It doesn't have a double-thing? So I just missed it. Because in Canada, it's 'cracking'.
Mitch: The expression.
Richard: It's 'cracking', in Canada, yeah. We crack the cheese.
[Long pause between Richard and the board of directors]
Richard: Cracking it? Cracking the cheese? So I simply, really believed that Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award... for cutting the actual cheese. I'm sorry.
[Another long pause as a board member writes Richard's comments]
Richard: I simply believed Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award...
Mitch: I heard you the first time.
