Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Plot? Who says a comedy needs a plot? Apparently no one ever told Andy Stock or Rick Stemson, but that doesn't seem to matter much. The Goods is an absolutely hilarious look at the irreverent business of selling used cars that hasn't been addressed this well since "Cadillac Man" or "Used Cars".They picked the perfect cast for this side splitter. Jeremy Piven is one of those guys who can pull off the two-dimensional character with finesse. His portrayal of Don Ready is the perfect lead for this cast of unlikely car salesmen trying to save the failing dealership. Ving Rhames plays his role with audacity, as do both Kathryn Hahn and David Koechner, all three exceptional comedians in their own right. Seeing Alan Thicke and James Brolin in the film, along with Wendie Mallck, reminds us that older actors may not take the stage often, but when they do, they know their stuff. While their roles are brief, they are exceptional and add the right amount of balance to the film.All in all, while I don't see this film walking away with any Oscars, it is an entertaining adult comedy with some great lines and a few scenes so ridiculous they are priceless. The kiddies need to be in bed or out playing in the yard though. Rated a serious R of language and nudity. Oh, don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for a cameo by the ever hot Gina Gershon.

Let me start off by saying this movie is a terrible movie. The plot is ridiculous and the characters are cheap. With that being said, this movie may be the most funny movie I have ever seen. Other reviews are correct saying that the movie delivers joke after joke. Other reviews are correct in saying the comedy is crude. However when watching a movie like this you have to be open minded. If you take offense to things easily then this is not the movie for you. If you have an open mind and are just ready to laugh then 'The Goods' will deliver. It is a subjective comedy. Aren't all comedies though? I hate to see people give such bad reviews because the humor of the comedy offends them. The movie is raunchy and hilarious from start to finish. All the characters in the movie are over the top, but thats the point. 'The Goods' isn't supposed to be a good movie with excellent acting and a great feel good story. Its supposed to be a movie designed to make you laugh. Take it for what it is and you will enjoy what it has to offer.

The Goods is an over the top movie, filled with an unoriginal formula and blended in with a mixture of complete raunchiness and high powered Comedy. It shows no mercy in various scenes, but keeps the adrenaline pumped and vulgar humor abroad and nonstop. Its nice to know we can see the always amusing Jeremy Piven in something other than an overrated HBO TV series.Don Ready, a great example of a really likable protagonist, is leader of a group of car salesmen; Baps (Kathryn Hahn), the foul mouth lady, Jibby (Ving Rhames) a tough guy in search of making love, and Brett (David Koechner), Don's assistant and back-up brains of the group.They are called to Selleck Motors, a car dealership suffering on 4th of July weekend. Don promises the owner he will sell all 211 cars on the lot. If failed, the lot will be closed. Typical cliché plot involving the hero trying to save a place, seemingly failing at the end with a minor and yet unexpected (but still expected) twist, then working everything out and the credits role and were left with a questionable movie open for a sequel.The "Going out of business" plot has really come a long way. Much like the film Used Cars it will sure to be a forgotten about movie, but a cheer up when watched. David Koechner and Jeremy Piven give great appearances as well as good cameos like Will Ferrell and a funny scene from Ken Jeong. Although ultimately forgettable, I can't say The Goods is memorable. Though it's definitely worth a watch.Starring: Jeremy Piven, Kathryn Hahn, Ving Rhames, David Koechner, Ed Helms, and Ken Jeong. Directed by: Neal Brennan.

I heard a lot of not so great things about the movie, but I loved the cast and it seemed like it could be funny. After the first couple scenes, you start to realize it is a very dumb comedy, but as long as you can get over the fact that it is not very realistic, and is made to just be over-the-top funny, I think you will like it too. There are so many 1 liners that I was constantly rewinding the DVD to catch stuff, most of the movie had me rolling. Expect dumb and a non-realistic story, and then you can truly enjoy it. The stuff you can't take through the airport 1 liners really gave me a good laugh. I was disappointed when the movie was over.
