The song at the end reminds me of Java vs Net Why do they always make that kind of ending for a trailer?

Good cast,
Looks interesting this drama movie with the unemployment topic

[slikrapid]

how about that for a story, a guy (or more of them) who has a 'dream job' (meaning he is highly qualified or good at what he does), can afford to drive a porsche, looses the job and now, the poor sod, cannot find another job (even though he would have an advantage in just about every aspect except age over other potential applicants) and has to take manual labor?! (yeah right, this position is used just to make the viewers sympathize with him), but naturally, after some struggle he gets to start his own business - a start-up from low-wage income, usa must be a dreamland after all
