The Promotion starring Seann William Scott and John C Reilly

One of my absolute favorite films from this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival was a small, but not too small indie comedy called The Promotion, starring Seann William Scott (American Pie) and John C. Reilly (Walk Hard). It follows the relatively simple existences of two grocery store assistant managers who end up in a heated battle for… you guessed it, a promotion.

The reason I became so endeared with this film is the fantastic performances that seemed to come out of nowhere. John C. Reilly is at his best, playing the calm, quirky “nice older guy” and Seann William Scott really delivers as the somewhat naive, timid young guy. It was an intelligently written film delivered with some of the best comedic performances I’ve seen all year, and I am happy to report that all of you might be seeing it soon, as The Weinstein Company is eyeing a June release date.

To get you started, we’ve got a peek at the film’s teaser poster below. We are told that a trailer of some kind should be on its way soon, so we will keep you posted.
