When a tragic accident ends the life of Mr. Rose, the genius behind Rose's Manure Company, the livelihood of its loyal fleet of salesmen threatens to go, as they say, into the toilet. Enter estranged daughter Rosemary, a high-class- cosmetics salesgirl, who steps in to take control. She is not sure she has a nose for the family business, but she is determined to make foul into profit. Little does she know that a ruthless, slick-talking fertilizer rep is plotting a takeover. Whether she likes it or not, she must trust her top salesman, Patrick Fitzpatrick, to devise a plan to regain Rose's rightful position on top of the heap.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the stark contrast between the refined world of high-end cosmetics and the crude reality of the manure trade, relying on this dissonance to generate a steady stream of absurd and witty situations. It explores classic underdog tropes but filters them through a lens of delightful ridiculousness.

What lingers after the credits is the feeling of a charming, good-natured farce that, beneath its silly premise, offers a warm tale about family legacy and unconventional paths to redemption. — MovieFinder Editorial
