Glengarry Glen Ross - 3.0

I'll start off my holiday reviews with the only movie not from 2007 and the most disappointing of the bunch. Glengarry Glen Ross features a ridiculously strong cast (which is why I watched it) with Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin (all Oscar winners) as well as Ed Harris and Alec Baldwin (Oscar nominees). While the acting was fine, nobody really stood out besides Pacino's fast-talking real estate salesman. In all, the movie felt staged which isn't surprising since it's apparently a famous play - a problem that wouldn't have been a big deal except the story just wasn't very interesting. Pretty dull movie.

Fair enough - but i didn't get it the first time. It doesn't sound like you are in sales - every salesman loves this movie. Maybe this will inspire you. http://glengarrymix.nadens.com
