Verbraten & verkauft (2006)
15KVerbraten u0026 verkauft: Directed by Jason Ensler. With Ray Romano, Kevin James, Sofía Vergara, Juliette Lewis. A couple of incompetent door-to-door meat salesmen have fallen so far behind on their quotas that they are finally issued an ultimatum.
“You would think that a movie starring both Ray Romano and Kevin James (each extremely funny on their sitcoms) couldnu0026#39;t possibly fail. This movie doesnu0026#39;t necessarily fail, but with the talents of these two great comedians, it definitely falls short. Romano and James show that theyu0026#39;re both good actors, and can play characters different from the ones on their sitcoms. Hopefully, next time theyu0026#39;ll be working with a better script. Other than the novelty of the main characters being door-to-door meat salesman, the movie doesnu0026#39;t contain much originality. I chuckled quite a few times throughout the course of the film, but there are no big laughs. I can see why u0026quot;Grilledu0026quot; went straight-to-video, despite the popularity of the two actors. If it played in theaters, it would probably have a worse box office performance than u0026quot;Welcome to Mooseport.u0026quot; To be fair, the plot does thicken in the second half, and I found myself pretty intrigued. However, being a big fan of both u0026quot;Everybody Loves Raymondu0026quot; and u0026quot;The King of Queens,u0026quot; I couldnu0026#39;t help but feel disappointed. And Iu0026#39;m sure other fans will be disappointed as well.”
