About Get a Job
Jay is a young slacker who has to get a job in order to receive his inheritance. Rather than physically work, he fabricates an imaginary job in order to convince the attorney in charge of his trust fund.
Directed by Gregg Cannizzaro, Get a Job leans on a strong ensemble — Jason Wolk, Allen Garfield, Jeremy London — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1998.
