A deodorant company with a product called "Smell No Mo" pits two rival ad agencies in a race to come up with a campaign for a new-fangled sanitary napkin called Vorcan. The advertising satire follows the New York firm of Cranston & Co. as they fight rival Hoffman & Partners. Cranston fires his creative director which puts a young copywriter with a literature degree on the front line, even though he doesn't want to be. The contest comes down to a schmaltzy campaign by Hoffman with music by Air Supply that uses the tagline "Vorcan: your own personal air supply." or a more down to earth campaign from Cranston of "The pad ain't bad!" Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
This is a low budget and very accurate portrayal of the world inside a big advertising agency. The movie isn't that great unless you have worked in that field specifically as a creative or as an account executive. first time I saw it I thought it was lame but with time and appreciation for independent films I developed a special appreciation for this movie after working at an advertising agency for 3 years.
It's a must see for anyone who feels like entering that career.
If anyone has a copy or a DVD of this please let me know I would like to buy one.
Enjoy
