Rotten
Crass and painfully unfunny satirical comedy shot four years ago. It's finally receiving a token theatrical release concurrent with being dumped into the video-on-demand sludge pile.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
This long-shelved comedy proves a disappointing mix of onscreen talent, uneven social satire and juvenile humor.
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten
Not only is this a movie without any guts, it doesn't have much of a brain either.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
"Get a Job" is nothing special.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
The imperfect work mired in storage all this time gets a well-deserved spin.
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
