Fred Berlow (Jeff Daniels) grows up loving vaccums crying more for the prospect of losing a vacuum than when his mom dies. When he's a grown man he becomes a Super Sucker (NEVER call it a vacuum) salesman, in competition with a fellow seller and fighting to keep his distribution rights. The owner gives them one more contest to see who gets more sales. The loser will be fired. Of course Fred's Super sucker group of salesman don't do well at all at first against the rival salesman group's flashier tactics, but thanks to a super sucker attachment that thanks to it's size is a hit with women and gay men they might stand a chance. This film is quaint, but cant help but fall apart as time goes on. There's a few (VERY few) laughs scattered here and there, but "Used Cars" is still so much better.
My Grade: D+

A standard sitcom plot stretched to feature length
As fun as having your teeth pulled and eyes poked at the same time
This was so unfunny words can't describe it. Why Jeff Daniels agreed to act in this loser, I have no idea. I watched about 45 minutes of it, and only because I rented it myself and did not want to offend friends by taking it out after 5 minutes. Now I have to rent 4-5 masterpieces to make up for the bad taste.
Avoid at all costs.
Super Sucker Really Sucks
Fred Barlow (Jeff Daniels) and Winslow Schnaebelt (Harve Presnell) are vacuum cleaner salesmen competing against each other the exclusivity of an area of door to door sale. Fred uses an old device called 'homemaker little helper', which is also used by the house wives and gay community as a sex toy, to increase the sales of his team and win the competition. This movie can only be indicated to morons. It is awful, ridiculous, amazingly horrible, a crap, a piece of s***. Jeff Daniels is a good actor, has excellent movies in his filmography, such as 'Something Wild', 'Ragtime' and 'Pleasantville' among others, but this 'Super Sucker' really sucks. The worst is that it is written and directed by him. The movie is not funny and indeed it is a pure waste of time and money watching it. My vote is two.
