Tommy's new partner on his route is Pete (Michael Begley), a younger man who has dreams of working in the music industry. Pete's girlfriend, however, demands that he get a steady job, and has decided to withhold sex until Pete starts bringing home a steady paycheck. Tommy coaches Pete in his ruthless and shameless sales techniques, and together they start selling an impressive number of vacuums; Tommy thinks they may both be up for Salesman of the Year, but then Pete has to consider what could be a better offer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This movie rocked. Combines door-to-door vacuum sales with techno music. That's pretty original. It's fitting that I'm working on Glen Gary, Glen Ross is my scene study class. Salesmen are crazy.

    "Rule # whatever: get out fast, like a spent knob" lol. DBoyles dark comedy about desperate vacuum salesmen. TSpall is both absolutely hilarious & terribly terribly sad. A depressing flick.
