Praise for Sean Astin in "Demoted" review

I found the notion that Astin’s character Mike, despite being a successful sales associate with a major firm, would still live with his parents quite funny, especially since his mother ultimately takes it upon herself to entertain the strippers Mike brings home each night. More of that certainly would have been nice. In fact, more Sean Astin in general would have benefited the film greatly.
…
Astin proves to be the most consistently funny performer throughout.
…
Mike on the other hand, undergoes a complete lifestyle transformation by the end of the picture, which makes him a more logical focal point. Moreover, Astin delivers a more thoroughly solid comic performance than any other Demoted cast member, so much so that he steals virtually every scene he appears in. For even when he isn’t talking, Astin finds some sort of bizarre comic business to do that ultimately draws focus from the trite action and dialogue going on around him anyway.
…
Sean Astin is wonderful in the picture and here’s hoping that he gets a chance to play the lead in a superior comedy soon.

"Demoted" on DVD and Blu-ray in June

"Demoted," a comedy starring Sean Astin, David Cross and Michael Vartan, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray June 12, 2012. It's available now for pre-order from Amazon.

"What goes around comes around for a pair of prank-playing tire salesmen (Sean Astin and Michael Vartan) who find themselves placed in secretarial jobs by their put-upon boss (David Cross). Now the two pranksters will have to climb their way back to the top."

I saw Demoted at the Uptown Film festival in Michigan a year ago, and wrote this in a journal at the time:

The movie was better than I had expected from the trailer, and everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy it. There was a bit of bathroom humor (including a scene in the bathroom), but also a lot of good slapstick and other funny bits. Sean had some very funny as well as cute and sweet scenes, and a couple places where his eye crinkles and general adorableness had me melting in my seat. Sean got the opportunity to indulge in a number of sports, including softball, bowling and jogging. There's also a very funny (and adult) scene where Mike (Sean) and Rodney (Michael Vartan) give anniversary present advice to one of the secretaries.  

After the movie there was a Q&A with Warren Zide, one of the producers. … I asked if there was much improvisation, as it seemed to me there was, and he said about 1/3 of what made it to the screen involved improv. They would shoot the scene first following the script, then do additional takes with the actors improvising.
