"The Smell of Success" is a movie to avoid. These salesmen are selling manure. That's it. This is hammered into our heads with so many "fecal jokes" that by the end of the first half hour you just want them to stop.

The salesmen are called "bullsh*tters," for no other reason than to "make a joke." One salesman is even called "sh*t for brains." Nothing is any other color but brown. Brown filters are purposely used with CGI brown landscapes and brown cars.

Enough! We get it !!! The worst thing about this flick is that you keep watching it to see if it can get any worse. Then the one punch ending. Ugh! The reason there is "No Score Yet" from the critics is that even THEY don't want to waste their time watching it.
