Reviews
Demoted received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.3/10, reflecting an average level of reception. Critics have pointed out that while the premise offers potential for engaging workplace comedy, the execution falls into predictable tropes and uneven humor. Some reviewers from media outlets noted that the performances, especially by Sean Astin, brought charm to otherwise stereotypical characters. For example, one reviewer mentioned, "Astin's genuine comedic timing is a rare bright spot in this otherwise formulaic comedy." However, others criticized the film's pacing and lack of originality, stating it "struggles to rise above generic office comedy cliches." On Rotten Tomatoes, although there is no Tomatometer score, audience reviews are similarly mixed, with some appreciating the light-hearted approach suitable for casual viewing, while others found it lacking depth and sharper wit. Overall, Demoted is regarded as a modest, sometimes funny film that may appeal to fans of workplace comedies but doesn't break new ground genre-wise.
