Now this looks like a comedy we can hang with. “The Promotion” stars John C. Reilly and Sean William Scott as two rival assistant managers of a corporate grocery store vying for a coveted promotion. It has a silly flair, but not absurdly so (think a Will Ferrell comedy if it was a little bit more reigned in or grounded in the indie world and the supporting cast looks great (Jenna Fischer, Lili Taylor, Fred Armisen). Then it could turn out to be average and middling like the indie comedy, “Smart People” (which was ok, but not much to write home about), but it also looks like it has an odd, warm-hearted tone and we’re feeling optimistic and tentatively looking forward to this one. Reilly in particular looks really funny.
