Suckers is a comedy/drama takes you into the sleezy world of a used car dealership. Having worked at a car dealership myself, I was hoping for a fairly realistic representation of the business and I wasn't disappointed. Granted, this type of "hit the customer over the head and bury them in a huge monthly payment" dealership is thankfully rare, but they exist. If anything this movie may help you make a better deal on your next car because some the sales techniques shown in the film are actually used in real dealerships. My favorite character is the bald headed General Manager, Reggie, played by Daniel Benzali. He nailed it with the sleezy look and obnoxious one-liners. His scenes in the training room are classic! Caution, there's TONS of swearing and several racial slurs, so it's not for everyone. But if you are looking for a funny and sometimes disturbing movie with a good twist, then take Suckers for a test drive.Read full review
I was told by a friend of mine that I really needed to watch this movie. I had recently got into the automotive sales industry. Boy was I suprised! The movie was a lot like how a car dealership is ran. While a little stretched, the sales meetings and selling techniques are QUITE SIMILAR. I QUIT the car business an INFORMED CONSUMER! Car dealers are CROOKS! Buy your cars from a private individuals with their guarantees in writing. After watching this movie, you'll feel violated because this will bring back memories from your last visit at a car dealership. 4 Square, back and forth to the "boss", etc. This movie is a must for car dealers(Training Video). Everybody else, I would just rent it first. It's worth a one time watch.
I was previously a manager at a cellphone company for a few years. I noticed the company was going under due to bad management on the other side of town and out of state areas. With the warning signs going up I went looking for another job. I was told by many people that I should try carsales. So, I did. While in a training one day I heard some guys make some refrences to a movie called "Suckers". So, I looked it up. My local store didnt have it but Ebay did... The movie was good (for its time) and had a lot of truth behind it. Things that still go on today. From jokes to strokes and back to pokes, those salesmen resemble some of the salesmen today. I enjoyed the movie with my wife who know thinks thats how it is in the car business. Just to clear things up...There still are some of those elements remaining, but the honesty has improved.Read full review
Oh the joy of buying a car. Some dealerships could use this film as a training tool. This movie is set in the 1990's during the "Rip the customer's head off" period of car sales. The movie follows an average guy as he begins his sales career with the "top grossing" dealership in the area. He rapidly moves from "Green Pea" to top salesman. The drug trafficing back story doesn't ad much to this highly entertaining and enlightening movie. As a car saleperson I would not recommend you watch the HOW TO BUY A CAR section in the DVD extras. Overall a fun film with believable characters.
Came in good shape move was funny got it for my brother that works at a dealership.
