5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Start...But It Really "..." You In, August 18, 2003

Truly, this film may be the funniest ever made! And this comes from a lover of Python creations, Black Adder, and the Muppets!

The first half hour will have you in tears. The characters are locked in a seemingly hopeless struggle to remain successfully employed as door-to-door vacume salesmen. The sets are dreary, the costumes hopelessly white-trash, and Jeff's hair looks like it belongs to a bad real estate agent from 1982.

But then...the most shocking revelation occurrs! One of the discontinued attachments for their unpopular vacume, turns out to be an excellent, high powered, erotic aide! (The attachment had been discontinued decades before, when the manufacturer stumbled upon his wife putting this attachment to a rather unseemly use.) But one very determined salesman (Daniels) dusts off the old blueprints, retrains his sales personel in discreetly lewd sales pitches, and soon (thanks to hundreds of neglected housewives) business is booming!

But it's not over yet...an organization that believes in the protection of household appliances starts a...well...a civil rights movement of sorts, to protect the vacumes from ... "misuse," and the scandals that arise soon after...well, you just have to see it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Only in America, September 11, 2005

This review is from: Super Sucker (DVD)

For unknown reasons there are people in this country that through no fault of their own come second place. They salute the other American flag and hear the anthem played for the losers.
"Super Sucker" is a film about this group of people. Sort of a kinder version of "Used Cars" and has that same feel good quality
of "Tucker". Writen,Acted and Directed By Jeff Daniels it is on the same level with the early work of Woody Allen's "Take The Money and Run" as an au tor work, we have in the past seen such projects turn out to be, I Made this for myself and you are fortunate to see it; turn out be to so introspective as to actually put the viewer to sleep .
With the film "Super Sucker" I had a goodtime from being to end. I felt a part of this film and I wanted to be one of the team of "Super Sucker" sales people(as stated in the film it is more than just a Vaccum). The Film is about the daily struggles of selling vaccums between two firms that may if Daniels, Fred Barlows team don't sell enought (which they have not been doing over the long term)will go out of business.
As with most films these days it relies on sex to carry the comedy; I add this no to be critical but to warn asexual viewers.
The nice surprise is Dawn Wells who we rarely get to see in films these days has a pleasant turn as herself and much mention is made of "Gilligans Island".
Lately, I have had a hard time in this new age (The 21 century)
finding films that have not been over produced, over marketed,
or over hyped that I have truely enjoyed and felt good about buying. "Super Sucker" is one and marks the 800 dvd in my collection the only other feel good film that I enjoyed lately that is in the same class is John Waters "A Dirty Shame". The next film that I can say I really want to see is "Johnny Slade's Greatest Hits" by Larry Blamire whose first film "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" was also a goodtime.
"Super Sucker" I believe worked because it was an independant film and the Jeff Daniels Free of studio muddling could get his vision on the screen. I was truely entertained by this work and we could use more like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERYBODY will laugh!!, April 11, 2009

By 

James A. Van Nus (Hilton Head Island, SC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Super Sucker (DVD)

This obscure movie is absolutely one of funniest I've ever seen! Jeff Daniels was perfectly cast! I accidentally found it while satellite channel surfing. Finally found a copy to buy (naturally at amazon).

I created THE TEST: I picked 10 people I know that had reputations of hating TV, or preaching that movies were only for the uneducated, or were almost impossible to get a even smile from no matter how good a joke would be, or no matter what they were exposed to. (Of course no one would initially admit this). I invited them two at a time to the house for refreshments and to watch this movie. I warned them ahead of what to expect, and that I would be betting that they could not stifle even a grin, much less a hearty laugh. They all argued, all tried to convince me or each other that they possessed enough self control that they wouldn't even smile much less giggle, snort, or laugh while watching this comedy. Some even wanted to bet money, to which I refused. However, 8 agreed that the winner would be treated to a steak dinner.

RESULTS: All ten persons lost!! One person came close to not laughing but strange grunts & noises emanated from his mouth; he gave in and admitted his insides "shook with glee". I am still owed 5 steak dinners and am gaining weight.

This story is true. Years ago I offered the same test with "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". 7 out of the 10 contestants laughed, but "Super Sucker" was 10 for 10. Watch this and YOU WILL LAUGH!! LET YOURSELF GO! Then show it to your in-laws; your boss, or the dullest, most stoic pseudo-serious people you know and watch how they loose themselves to uncontrollable laughter.
