Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, and Bryan Cranston star in this fresh and wickedly funny comedy about getting a job in a tough economy. Recent college graduates Will (Teller) and Jillian (Kendrick) quickly encounter the struggles millennials face in today's highly competitive job market and when Will's job falls through and Jillian gets laid off, the young couple and their friends must endure public humiliation, hazing, and surprise drug tests to ultimately launch their fledgling careers.

It's not great, but the movie has a good cast. I won't say the characters are great, but I enjoyed some of them. Moreover, I think unintentionally the film also shows what people are willing to do for work, even if it means humiliating themselves more than they should. A man will simply never be a man if he drinks a glass of deer semen.

It's hard for me to believe how many beloved faces have succumbed to ridicule towards anyone who has ever tried to find a job. As if a successful attempt at a career was really just about quitting at every small success – and by this style, climbing up the ladder higher and higher like some kind of mystery. Maybe it was meant to be a lighthearted comedy deep down, but there were so many moments when I felt a significant imaginary dagger being opened in my pocket that even the sophisticated casting couldn't save this forgiving evaluation. Get a Job shouldn't have stayed in the drawer of forgotten nonsense for four years, but for eternity.

I'm really sorry to say this, but not even Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, and Bryan Cranston could rescue this pseudo-comedy about job hunting and responsibility from the clutches of mediocrity. Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is the pretty decent soundtrack. (40%)
