Oscar nominated actor, John C. Reilly and Sean William Scott lend their deft comedic touch to the story of two mid-level Chicago supermarket employees—Doug and Richard, a dubious new guy from Canada—who compete ruthlessly for a coveted managerial post at a new store location. Doug and Richard could not be more different, but going head-to-head in a contest of wits and wills reveals how they have more in common than they once suspected. The duo battle toward a hilarious final showdown that will leave you guessing until the very end.
