Info

Paul is a serially unemployed father of three who works one day a week in a run-down mattress showroom. To stimulate sales, proactive Paul invents the goofy persona of Mattress Mick for his employer, Michael, to play, and creates ridiculous videos involving rap songs and monkey puppets. When the oddball clips go viral, Paul sees his chance to monetize the concept and reinvent himself as a social media guru. Can a guy who's been made redundant twice in the past few years use his marketing savvy and entrepreneurial skills to transform his boss into an Internet star? Will Paul gain recognition for his bold ideas or will Michael take all the credit? Set against the backdrop of Ireland's crippling economic austerity and reflecting current workplace conditions, Mattress Men tells the compelling story of a man looking for job security so he can get off social assistance and provide for his family.

Mattress Men Audience Reviews

Clevercell Very disappointing...
GazerRise Fantastic!
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
OJT The plot of this documentary with comic elements is as follows:Trying to save his struggling mattress business in Ireland's recession, Michael Flynn reinvents himself as the eccentric online persona "Mattress Mick". He doesn't own property or even a car, just his family.He decides to get help and guidance from his unemployed friend friend Paul Kelly, hiring him to help make a growing business making funny videos on social media. As business actually begins to grow, their friendship starts getting trouble.When Stephen Fry with his 8 million followers on Twitter tweets about him things starts taking off.The film tells about everyday struggling, applying ideas to make it work.Kudos for making this film. It works!
