Fred Barlow (Jeff Daniels) is a door-to-door salesman peddling the "Super Sucker Home Cleaning System" which is a high-powered vacuum cleaner. Things are going well for Fred until his adversary and biggest competitor, Winslow Schnaebelt (Harve Presnell), begins to outsell him. Although Fred cannot compete with Winslow's flashy sales routine, he has a secret weapon in his assistant Howard Butterworth (Matt Letscher), whose youthful charm inspires Fred to do his best. SUPER SUCKER, a tongue-in-cheek comedy, is written and directed by Jeff Daniels. [More]

Reviews for Super Sucker
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.
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.
