THE SMELL OF SUCCESS

A film about manure.  Can there be another subject that's more unappealing?

What do the Polish Brothers have on Billy Bob Thornton?  I liked THE ASTRONAUT FARMER but Thornton should've stayed far away from this script.

Story's about manure salesmen trying to save their company which has gone heavily in debt.  To further complicate matters, a rival manure company has invaded their turf.

The scene where Ed Helms grows tits just by tasting the rival company's manure ended it for me.  Who thought this would be funny?  Who thought this script just had to be made?  Did they think they would turn a profit? 

With a subject matter like this, the script needed to be zanier.  They needed to visit THE HANGOVER territory.  It had to be a hard R rating just to have a shot at success.

Film's crappy and not worth watching.
