Normally these two wouldn’t be leading, but ‘The Promotion’ features John C. Reilly and Seann William Scott in a, as Davis mentions, not that well promoted comedy. The low-budget movie is seeing a limited release this weekend and reviews are mixed. It seems like one of those love it or hate it movies.

Reelviews gave a 7.5 and said, “There are enough laughs to justify it being labeled as a comedy but a stronger storyline than one normally associates with this kind of film. It’s an enjoyable diversion amidst the big guns of summer.”

While the 3.0 review at The Hollywood Reporter mentions how it’s one “of the unfunniest comedies ever. Punch lines are lifeless. Characters are borderline catatonic. Running gags can’t even walk.”
