Plot Summary: In the latest comedy from Broken Lizard (the creators of "Super Troopers" and "Beerfest"), "Slammin" Cleon Salmon (Michael Clarke Duncan) is a former Heavyweight Champion of the World turned celebrity owner of a high end Miami seafood restaurant, The Slammin' Salmon.

A terrifying bull of a man, Salmon uses fear to rule over his misfit waitstaff (Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, as well as Cobie Smulders and April Bowlby) and on this particular night, he takes his bullying skills to a new level. In an effort to pay off a gambling debt to the Japanese Yakuza, Salmon sets up a contest to 'inspire' his waitstaff to sell more food than they ever have before: the top selling server wins $10,000 while the waiter in last place gets served with a broken rib sandwich—courtesy of the Champ himself.

Spurred on by greed and panic, the staff resort to backstabbing, bribery and indecent proposals in an attempt to upsell their patrons while simultaneously sabotaging their co-workers. As the hours pass, the dining room action becomes more frenzied as the contest escalates into a brawl for first place in order to win the money.

Kinda seems like the tv show Kitchen Confidential meets Waiting meets a Broken Lizard flick.

As a die-hard Broken Lizard troupe fan, I've gotta say this is kinda disappointing. Why couldn't they follow up with "Potfest" or "Super Troopers 2"? This movie looks like I'll get a few good laughs the first time I watch it and that's it. I've watched Puddle Cruiser, Super Troopers and Beerfest well over 20 times each and still laugh like a mad man. I hope this movie is alot better than the weak trailer.

I agree with Disappointed Fan. If you go to Broken Lizards website it has a poll asking what you want to see next from the troupe. 43% said "Super Troopers 2", 32% said "Potfest" and only 18% said a new original movie from the troupe. Give the fans what they want. No wonder they couldn't get a distributor for this movie. No company wants to throw their money away on a movie even fans won't see.

They guys are a joke, and I don't mean funny. They are embarassing. Only Chandeskar who directed AD can even pretend he has talent, the rest should quit writing about waiting tables, and start waiting tables.
