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 struggles to assemble a ship in a bottle while his motivational tape plays in the background]
Motivational Speaker: Have you ever seen an eagle blow his top? Do your best to keep your cool.
Richard: Stay loose...
[the ship tips over when Richard places his tweezers near it]
Richard: Fuck!
Motivational Speaker: Every life has its frustrations, but be careful not to let them get the best of you in front of your family. Instead of curses, find a more family-friendly way to express life's frustrations.
[Richard drops his tweezers inside the bottle, causing him to get up in anger]
Richard: Fuck you! Ship fuck! Asshole ship! Seven seas fucker! Jolly fucker!
Lori Wehlner: For Christ's sake...
Richard: No one can do that! It's impossible! Not even a guy with tiny hands! Not even a guy with a child's hands! Fuck that!

Hardy: Hey, Mr. Wehlner.
Richard: Hey, Hardy. How are you doing?
Hardy: I'm doing good.
Richard: What did you do last night?
Hardy: I went to the movies with my sister.
Richard: You did?
Hardy: Yeah.
Richard: That sounds awesome.
Hardy: Guess what?
Richard: What?
Hardy: I'm growing a mustache.
Richard: All right. That's cool.
[offers a handshake]
Richard: Hey, Hardy, you're doing a great job at the store here.
Hardy: Thanks.
Richard: Keep it up.
[as Hardy walks away, Richard feels his right hand after shaking it with Hardy and gives an uneasy look on his face. Doug sees this and approaches him]
Doug Stauber: What's going on?
Richard: Oh, nothing. Just... Hardy. It just gets sad, sometimes. Do you know why Hardy's hand is powdered?
Doug Stauber: Why?
Richard: These retarded guys... masturbate so much that they rub the skin off their penises. They don't know better, and that they have a hard time not jerking off.
[Mitch and the board of directors appear behind Richard]
Richard: Hey!
[Richard walks away as Mitch approaches Doug. He watches the conversation from a distance]
Mitch: Was he talking about jerking off in the store?
