The Slammin' Salmon (2009)

  I'm assuming the person who wrote that blurb on the front was paid to do it because this is a terrible movie devoid of anything resembling wit, originality, or humor.

Rich (Kevin Heffernan) is fairly laid back as a manager of the seafood restaurant The Slammin' Salmon, named after the soubriquet of its owner, heavyweight champion Cleon Salmon (Michael Clarke Duncan), but when Salmon needs $20,000 to cover a lost bet to a Yakuza boss, Rich knows the staff will need slightly more than just encouragement.  He offers a variety of inducements to get the waiters, waitresses, and busboys to perform at their top levels.

Did you see Waiting with Ryan Reynolds?  Imagine that but without the comedy.  That's The Slammin' Salmon.  Avoid like week-old shellfish.
