In Good Company (2004)

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

An unexpected masterpiece

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Well all story doesn't have a happy ending but neither do have a sad ending too, this saying goes perfectly well for this movie. I happened to have seen it after seeing it in IMDb. I didn't expect much from this movie as its very poster was not so impressive. Even after watching it, I wont say to have been much impressed but its a nice try to watch it in a Sunday evening where you have no where to go. The story begins with Dan (Dennis Quad) office being taken over by Globecomm CEO Teddy K. The newly appointed chief is Carter (Topher Grace) who will now head the office with Dan being his "wingman". But life changes for young,vibrant,dynamic Carter after his wife left him few days prior to their anniversary and Carter happened to have meet Dan's elder daughter (Scarlet Johansson). After a short stint at their house, they gradually falls for each other. What follows next forms the climax of the story. A nicely shot movie with good performances by the lead characters. A tight screenplay will make you watch this 110 minutes movie. Background score is not so impressive and doesn't leave any mark. I would not say recommended but if you are running short of movies, you can give it a shot.

It basically talks about a new young boss, an old father(double the age of his boss), and a daughter. The boss gets in a relation with the daughter, after his divorce.The movie is very nice and interesting to watch, it sounds comedy, but not really. But it keeps a smile on your face.It was written well, let you really sympathize with each character, and this is what each script has to have.The movie was very well directed, could give the director 7.5 out of a Ten. The acting was just perfect, well lets not exaggerate, lets say Very good, if we are talking about Dennis Quaid, or the 26 years old guy or the 18 years old Scarlett.The director by the way is the same director of the 2010 Little Fockers. He is a writer too, wrote this movie, wrote AntZ I give the movie around a 7 out of 10.Enjoy [email protected]

"In Good Company" is a very nice film. Just like "About a Boy" (It was made by the same director of that film) This is an enjoyable and funny flick, filled with lot of heartwarming moments and very likable characters.I think this movie works very well as a light-hearted and well-meaning romantic comedy with some elements of drama and satire. The performances (Specially the one by Dennis Quaid) were very good, making all the characters from this movie likable and sympathetic. I also liked the overall optimistic tone of this film: This is the kind of film that you could see many times, and it's always enjoyable."In Good Company" it's a very nice, uplifting film.

I am a huge fan of "That 70s Show" and "About A Boy" first and foremost. Topher was just the icing on the cake for this one. I feel he really carried his own and in many ways, this role was made for him. Scarlett Johansson has this presence about her that just makes the watcher want more and more. Plus, she got to smooch Topher. That kiss scene in the street was so natural and didn't seem like it was forced or pretentious one bit. At times, I sort of thought Dennis was overdoing the whole "I'm older listen to me" but I kind of figured at the same time that's what the character called for. Dennis had some funny lines but Topher was the only one with the funny delivery for me. The movie was very funny. I only wished it was longer only because I wanted to see how far it would go with Topher's character. I suppose it was the way Directed/Writer Weiz had wanted us to believe. I loved how the ending mirrored everyone's struggle to be themselves. Maybe you don't want to wear a suit and tie and be this anal retentive prick spewing out orders to a marking company. Maybe life is about doing things that bring you the most joy. I'm glad Tohper had figured that part out. He seems really intelligent in the movie and it showed in every corner of the writing. Though, I believe despite the crazy good screenplay, he had added a little of himself in the role. LOVED this movie! Topher will be around for a while.
