      Tom Long Detroit News Has a mad energy and proud idiocy that's impossible to deny. Rated: B- Jan 24, 2003 Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press Daniels obviously loves the medium and knows how to assemble a movie, but he needs to flesh out a story that could easily have been told between beers and burps at the Escanaba hunting camp. Rated: 2/4 Jan 24, 2003 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader A terrible movie. Rated: 1/4 Jan 24, 2003 Full Review Mark Pfeiffer Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Simply put, this movie about sweeper salesmen is a comedic vacuum. Rated: F Jul 12, 2006 Full Review Rory L. Aronsky Film Threat 'Hopefully, "Super Sucker" will be Jeff Daniels final foray into directing and writing. NO MORE!!!!! NO MORE!!!!!!'

      My P This movie has all great characters that are in many Jeff Daniels movies. But this movie is probably the funniest. Changing the life of housewives through a vacuum attachment. You just have to watch it to know. Filmed in Jackson Michigan home of Jeff Daniels. Gives it an authentic feeling that this could be a true story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not sure why this got such a low score. But to be honest, it took a while for me to warm up to it. I mean, really, who sells vacuums door to door any more? How relevant a vehicle for a post-2000 movie is that? But once i realized what Daniels was going for, I got it. And i've got to give a kudos to the ensemble cast, everyone was on their mark. The over the top yea, rah rah characters were perfect for any sales force,: the unrealistic hope, the excessive cheerleading. I've been to those meetings. I know. Like i said, after the film got going and the anticks started rolling in, it was on. I had quiet a few good laughs along the way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This has been on my *to watch* movie list for 17 years....I have saved the newspaper review article from NYTimes on the movie .... and now here we are during the CoVid 19 Pandemic and time was on my hands...I am checking off a list of *Make Me Laugh* movies. Love that Jeff Daniels is loyal and uses his Michigan roots to film and promote theatre arts. Like a four range octave of a vocalist, he has a four octave range of acting abilities from hilarious to serious and back to laughter and everything in between. The cast he lassoed in for the movie each reveled in their role. You have to love Kate Peckham's many looks from Mid-Century Mad Men Style to Disco Diva, and Sandra Birch with her, "I've used these vacuums as a housekeeper/maid and you can use ‘em too...." and the stylistic Screenplay fugue where each vehicle passersby look over, "Vacuum Cleaner Salesman," ... Matt Letscher and Harve Presnell know that being able to be at your game playfully is tonic for a weary soul. Was a fun movie and refreshing, full belly, laugh out loud. Have fun with it and keep an open mind when the Nuns stop traffic to defend the pursuit of happiness salesman of the year. Life is curious; don't take it too serious. Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member great film. hit's the nail on the head in it's own special way Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I was their for the world premeire. Gotta love the hometown movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member HAHA This is what I do for a living love this movie!!! Ain't nothing like the nap nipper!!!
