Daniels shows his affection for Middle America in every Super Sucker scene and he proves he knows this turf down to the barn-wood paneling of Jackson City's steakhouse.

a lively tale about competition, commerce, community values and, oh yeah, gross misuse of vacuum cleaner attachments.

Has a mad energy and proud idiocy that's impossible to deny.

Daniels turns to hackneyed stereotypes and easy plot lines, choosing to see the Midwest as a place where door-to-door salesmen rule the streets and bored housewives all lead unfulfilling cookie-cutter lives.

If you think you've seen every possibility for a sex comedy, then you haven't seen Super Sucker -- and thank your lucky stars for that.

Writer-Director Jeff Daniels comes up with about forty-five minutes of inspired silliness, but, eventually, Super Sucker winds up being a one-joke film, though, admittedly, that joke is often funnier than it should be.

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.

The quirky and bizarre nature of the material would have been better suited to a director more nimble with absurd, broad and physical humor.

A terrible movie.

Top CriticSimply put, this movie about sweeper salesmen is a comedic vacuum.

It’d be nice to report that “Super Sucker” is an out-and-out triumph, instead of just being an okay to pretty good comedy.

'Hopefully, “Super Sucker” will be Jeff Daniels final foray into directing and writing. NO MORE!!!!! NO MORE!!!!!!'
