Broken Lizard has just enough low brow comedy to appeal to me without offending me completely. They have found just the right mix of “that’s just so wrong” and witty comedy to make just about anything funny.
That being said, I have patiently been waiting for The Slammin’ Salmon to get a theatrical release, and Christmas has come early for me as this December the film will be getting its wide theatrical release.
Anchor Bay’s theatrical distribution arm will be distributing THE SLAMMIN’ SALMON according to Variety. The flick is about a one night competition between a group of waiters where the top seller gets a $10,000 bonus and the loser gets the shit beat out of them by Michael Clarke Duncan who plays the dumb ex-boxer owner of this swanky Miami restaurant.
The trailer reminded me of the Ryan Reynolds film Waiting, which shows a dirty behind the scenes look at the restaurant business. It really made me question the fake smiles and tolerant faces of those who serve me at restaurants.
The Slammin Salmon however appears to be a more encapsulated story that deals with the events of one night, and I just love Michael Clarke Duncan’s character who is constantly impressed with his own charm. Beautiful.
