I can only remember bits and pieces, naturally.
There are 2 (maybe more, seems like 2 competing) home stereo salesmen, they will tell customers anything to make the sale. Then one of them, realizing that the guy he’s about to hardsell the most expensive speakers they have just can’t afford them, has a moment of conscience and steers him away.
And the biggest, baddest speakers have a stupid name, like Dominator 9000, but a Google search turns up zilch there.
TIA.
Wasn’t the potential speaker buyer’s wife pregnant?
The speakers were called the Dominator X-10. The kid couldn’t afford it, because his girlfriend was pregnant.
On edit: Wow, Lurker, you’re fast
I’m fast too. I knew it was Ruthless People while looking at the mouseover.
Too late but I knew the answer right away!
“You don’t have to buy ‘em, you can freakin’ FINANCE 'em! And when you die you can be buried in 'em!”
Thanks!
Funny thing, if somebody asked what was the movie where some dimwits kidnap a guy’s overbearing wife, and he doesn’t want her back, I’d have known it was Ruthless People. I just didn’t make the stereo salesmen storyline connection.
I knew I could count on you folks.
ETA: Dammit, I even Googled “Judge Reinhold Stereo Salesman” and didn’t get anything. I thought he was the guy.
Yup, Ruthless People. A very funny flick.
