A war of wills takes place between two men who want to run the same grocery store in this offbeat
comedy from writer and director
Steven Conrad.
Doug (
Seann William Scott) is a seemingly ordinary guy who works as the assistant manager of a supermarket near Chicago. When the owners of the market announce they're opening a new branch near
Doug's neighborhood, he applies to become manager of the new store, and both he and his wife (
Jenna Fischer) assume he's a shoo-in to get the job. But
Richard (
John C. Reilly), a gregarious recent hire at the store who has relocated to Illinois from Canada, announces he's also applying for the management position, and a keen rivalry develops between
Doug and
Richard even as they strive to act like friends on the surface. As the competition grows between the two, their personality flaws become increasingly evident --
Doug's short temper,
Richard's history of drug abuse -- and when
Richard's wife (
Lili Taylor) leaves him, the contest starts taking an uncomfortable turn.
The Promotion also stars
Fred Armisen,
Gil Bellows, and
Bobby Cannavale.
