the prime gig begin promisingly enough a a comedy about telemarketing with wonderful character actor like wallace shawn and george wendt . vince vaughn play the main character and the star marketer at a two bit storefront telemarketing outfit where the cram in worker have detail cue card post on the wall to help rebut the customer objection . the movie quickly throw in a sub plot vaughn cajole the bos to hire his bitter handicap friend . and then and fifteen minute in and the movie switch gear completely . the first shop close up and and shawn and wendt and et al be never see again . instead and we get a corporate expose about a high roller operator ( ed harris ) put together a team to sell multi thousand dollar share in a purported gold mine . vaughn be skeptical and but be entice by the prospect of big money and and his attraction for harris protege and the beautiful julia ormond . the rest of the film alternate between the vaughn ormond tryst and the high pressure going on at the telemarketing office and and an occasional foray back to the relationship of vaughn and his handicapped friend . none of the piece add up . the end be force and almost unbelievable in term of the character development that precede it . the acting be fine and but waste . this be a case where the part be good than the whole .
