I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Excellent film dealing with a veteran salesman whose company undergoes change and he soon finds that his boss, age 26, is carrying on with his daughter.We see all the new vocabulary associated with corporations- downsizing, acquisitions, etc.Dennis Quaid and his new young boss shall literally learn from each other.Nothing appears to be a certainty in this film with the exception of how good it really is.It also explores the interpersonal relationships that exists among the team in corporate America.

In Good Company is a film about a middle-aged man finds a callow twenty- something usurping his professional life and worming his way into his family in this alternately funny and poignant comedy drama that is written and directed by Paul Weitz.It stars Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson together with Marg Helgenberger, Clark Gregg, and Selma Blair.Dan Foreman is headed for a shakeup. He is demoted from head of ad sales for a major magazine when the company he works for is acquired in a corporate takeover. His new boss, Carter Duryea, is half his age and a business school prodigy who preaches corporate synergy. While Dan develops clients through handshake deals and relationships, Carter cross-promotes the magazine with the cell phone division and Krispity Krunch, an indeterminate snack food under the same corporate umbrella. Both men are going through turmoil at home. Dan has two daughters, Alex, age 18, and Jana, age 16, and is shocked when his wife tells him she's pregnant with a new child. Carter, in the meanwhile, is dumped by his wife of seven months just as he gets his promotion. Dan and Carter's uneasy friendship is thrown into jeopardy when Carter falls for, and begins an affair with, Dan's daughter Alex.This film has a so-so script but great performances of the cast managed to elevate this film from a level of mediocrity. But nevertheless,it offers laughs at the expense of corporate culture.Also,it could be considered a "grown-up" film for many.

"Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) is a loving husband, caring father, and star ad executive. But now, life is putting him through the ultimate test. Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), a young hotshot half his age, has just become his boss. And to complicate matters, Dan discovers Carter is dating his daughter (Scarlett Johansson). It's filled with genuine laughs and you're in good company when you watch this entertaining comedy that 'Rolling Stone' calls 'hilarious'," according to the DVD sleeve."Rolling Stone" is wrong; the humor in this film not "hilarious". Although he tries, Mr. Quaid can't make lines like "Only my wife is allowed to touch me there!" funny, and Mr. Grace's borderline kid/adult talk is just embarrassing. The dorm poster advertising: "Marijuana (Because Your Friends Just Aren't Very Funny)" may be good advice, concerning the comedy part of this comedy/drama.Writer/director Paul Weitz and his cast do much better with the dramatic portions, which take over by the third act. Although, by then, it's too little, too late. When Quaid and Grace hug, you wonder where the good story went. It should have ended with Quaid receiving the son he wanted, but in an unexpected way… ***** In Good Company (12/6/04) Paul Weitz ~ Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson

Fox, who became known for playing that yuppie type in the 80's.Selma Blair plays his wife Kimberly who divorces him.Scarlett Johansson shines as Alex.Same thing with Zena Grey, who plays her sister Jana.Marg Helgenberger is terrific as Dan's wife Ann.David Paymer plays Morty who gets laid off.He is very good at the suffering man's part.Clark Cregg plays Mark Steckle and he's good.Philip Baker Hall is brilliant as Eugene Kalb.Malcolm McDowell is the big man Teddy K.I enjoyed watching this comedy/drama very much.Now you go and watch it and enjoy it like I did.
