In the age of slacker comedies and underachiever heroes, here's an American indie that embraces movie trivia and the joy of so-called dead-end jobs without a trace of irony. Thirty-eight-year-old video-store clerk Paul Kolsby is the unlikely Prince Charming for young professional Sharon Repass, a welcome change for the self-involved yuppies she's been enduring. But when she's too embarrassed to introduce this minimum-wage slave to her friends, he upscales himself to the corporate world and becomes miserable in his newfound success. Yes, this shot-on-video production lacks polish, but the two leads are charismatic and likable and the script, for all its Clerks-lite asides, recalls the sweetness and snap of old-fashioned romantic comedy. For all the indistinct sets and underpopulated scenes of this starvation-budget production, this is the rare calling-card film that favors story and character over flash and contrivance. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of A Real Job
Pick Up That Camera! Amazing! I can't believe this little gem is being released on DVD. I saw it at the New York Independent Film festival last September and was pleasantly surprised. Having worked in a video store myself, I found the theme very relatable. I especially liked the liquor store scene. Very funny. Despite the low budget, it's still a pretty slick movie. A real inspiration to aspiring film makers.
Funny, Insightful Independent Film
I saw this film at the 2001 Ashland Independent Film Festival. The film is a witty and insightful look at love, careers and the video business!
Though it appears to have been shot on a shoestring, the filmmakers made up for their lack of budget with an engaging plot and very funny dialog.
Highly recommended!
