Get A Job (2016) 7/10

Starring : Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, Brandon T Jackson, Nicholas Braun, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Marcia Gay Harden, Bryan Cranston
Director : Dylan Kidd
Running Time : 83 mins

Will Davis (Teller) and his girlfriend Jillian Stewart (Kendrick) have graduated college but can’t seem to find the perfect job, instead going from one job to another and discovering how terrible life in the work force can be. Meanwhile Will’s father Roger (Cranston) finds himself made redundant and discovers what life is like for a man in his fifties trying to compete with today’s youth for jobs.

This is a likeable enough comedy that doesn’t go too far in terms of slapstick. Instead the comedy revolves around how different age groups view the working world; the young as a chore and the old as a privilege. The performances are good on the whole from the ensemble cast of young actors (and a few more seasoned ones), but it would have been nice if they could have been given a bit more funny material to play with.
