Neal Brennan's directorial debut.Jeremy Piven stars as Don Ready, who leads a sort of "freelance" team of car salesmen (Ving Rhames, David Koechner, and Kathryn Hahn) who rent their services out to dealerships. For the upcoming Fourth of July weekend, they've been hired by Temecula, CA, dealer Ben Selleck (James Brolin) whose family dealership is on the verge of bankruptcy. His employees (Tony Hale, Ken Jeong, Charles Napier, and Jonathan Sudowski) are all apprehensive about the so-called "mercenaries" taking away their commissions, but Ready's team helps motivate them to be better sellers. Don, however, is distracted by Selleck's daughter Ivy (Jordana Spiro) and starts to consider finally settling down. Unfortunately for him, she's engaged to Paxton Harding (Ed Helms) the son of Ben's main rival dealer — and an aspiring pop star.While promoting the movie, Piven (along with Jeong) guest-hosted an episode of Monday Night Raw. While almost all of the celebrity guest hosts were hated by the fans, Piven's appearance is generally considered to have been the hands-down worst out of all of them, due mainly to his complete lack of knowledge about professional wrestling.

Wrong Parachute Gag: How Will Ferrell's character dies: he unknowingly took a backpack full of sex toys instead of the actual parachute for his stunt. And in his desperation, he tried to cushion his fall with a dildo.

Bank Robbery: Teddy thinks he has made a sale when the customer pays "in cash, in non-sequential bills, neatly packed in a canvas bag" with a bank logo on it. The dye pack goes off in Teddy's face while the "customer" speeds off in a car.

Product Placement: To an almost ridiculous extent. Ready and Co. regularly stay at the Hacienda Courts motel chain. Later, when having dinner with the Selleck family, Ready instead pulls out a bag of Arby's take out to enjoy.
