It&#8217;s lightweight, but parts of it are very funny.<\/p>\n<p>Mike (Steve Zahn) is stuck in a small town in Arizona, working as the night manager for his parents&#8217; motel. He is clearly unhappy and wants a different kind of life, but he doesn&#8217;t seem to know exactly what. When a pretty, 30-something traveling saleswoman (Jennifer Aniston) checks in he makes a clumsy attempt to seduce her. She is bored and frustrated with her life and his lost-puppy charm is sufficient for them to end up having clumsy sex in the laundry room. Then she leaves with no intention of ever seeing him again.<\/p>\n<p>Mike decides to go after her, and follows her to Maryland and then to Washington, hoping to win her love and lure her away from her maniacal ex-punk boyfriend (played by Woody Harrelson, whose performance is in itself worth the price of admission.)<\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t this constitute stalking? Well yeah, but it has always been an article of faith in Hollywood that it is OK to stalk someone as long as you look like a movie star and there are pratfalls involved. Just remember, it&#8217;s not OK for ordinary peons to do it. The result in this case is predictable but amusing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Management is a small, low-budget screwball comedy.
