I started watching it as a a generic comedy but this odd film captured my interest very soon.
The story of a manager falling from higher standing positioning to underdog has been told a thousand times but, thanks to a straightforward plot and the intense good acting, the plot evolves recalling echoes of dystopian '70's movies, thus showing it's true face: a clear denunciation of new economy dehumanizing mechanisms focusing on customer satisfaction in the most total contempt of worker's dignity and rights.
It's an updated "Modern Times" told in light and, apparently, simple tones, hitting hard the fat belly of our society.
