In a slight change of pace from my recent viewing pleasures I decided to check out Office Race. A movie that by all accounts was to be a laugh-out-loud comedy about a work-shy losers quest to train for a marathon and beat his asshole boss.

So, when producers Brian Hunt of Believe Entertainment Group and Marc Lieberman from Above Average teamed up to make an ensemble comedy with a very specific kind of audience,...
