If you're a Michael Keaton fan, you'll enjoy this movie. He was born to play a salesman. And that's what this movie basically is, a tale about a hardworking salesman. Through hard work, determination, and thinking constantly on ideas to become more successful (with some help from others sometimes), a middle aged struggling salesman can find success when dealt the right cards. Meanwhile the people who invent the possible goldmine business aren't always capable and the best people to progress the idea into greater fortune.

This is a good movie for a business major to watch. Some of the tricks of the trade by what Keaton's character discovered that would make McDonald's grow in popularity and in fortune is common knowledge nowadays, but you still cant help but root him on as he discovers these things. The McDonald brothers on the other hand are too scared to risk anything and are content with what they already accomplished. In this film you see examples of stubbornness on both sides of the main characters, but showing it in opposite ways.The 'go getter' vs the 'we already did's'. Watch this movie if you want to get inspired to go get the already did's and try to show them that everything can be better. Oh and warning, you might get a craving to go eat at McDonald's.
