Get a Job is a 2016 American comedy film directed by Dylan Kidd and written by Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel, about a group of friends recently graduated and their efforts to secure employment. The film stars Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, Brandon T. Jackson, Nicholas Braun, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Marcia Gay Harden, Alison Brie and Bryan Cranston. Shot in 2012, the film remained unreleased until March 25, 2016, when it received a limited and video on demand release by Lionsgate Premiere and CBS Films.
After graduating from college, Will is set to work in video production for LA Weekly. When he shows up for his first day, however, his boss, Brian Bender tells Will that the position promised to him was lost due to downsizing. He is obligated to find another position quickly to make rent for the house he shares with his friends: Luke, Ethan, and Charlie. When he returns to his father, Roger Davis, for money, Roger reveals he recently lost his job as well.
In desperation, Will takes a position as the night manager for a motel. On his first night, Will allows a pimp named Skeezy D to use the motel for his prostitutes. He loses his job the next morning when his boss lets him take the fall in front of the police that arrest Skeezy D.
Will (Miles Teller) ends up succeeding in the video production industry and eventually turns down a promotion and another job offer in order to, instead, start his own video production company. He makes a video interview for his dad (Bryan Cranston), who also successfully regains employment. Anna Kendrick appears to have a job at the end but it was unclear what the job was. The best part of the movie is in the final credits when Ethan, one of the roommates, also finds success in his iStalkU app which allows you to trace someone's exact location by sending a text to their cell phone.
