Nowadays it's rare to find a movie that pays attention to human weakness as well as strength, and that sees a whole person as having both. When a sports magazine gets bought by a media conglomerate, an ad sales executive named Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid, The Rookie) finds himself playing second-in-command to Carter Duryea, a hotshot barely half his age (Topher Grace, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!) whose marriage has just fallen apart. One evening Carter invites himself over to Dan's house to escape his loneliness, where he meets Dan's daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson, Lost in Translation). The two strike immediate sparks and when they run into each other later in the city, a relationship begins--which they discreetly keep from Dan. But the heart of the movie is not in its plot, but in the way that Dan responds to the news that his wife is pregnant, or how Carter tries to fortify his self-image with a new car. These aren't jokes; the actors inhabit these moments fully and turn them into psychological events. Quaid plays Dan as a simple man, but his straightforwardness feels genuine (rather than a failure of the writer's imagination). Grace and Johansson have terrific chemistry as lovers, but so do Grace and Quaid, both as rivals and as a substitute father and son. In Good Company isn't likely to win any awards, but it's honest and honorable; there's a core of truth to its characters and their problems aren't resolved too neatly. Sometimes, that's worth watching. --Bret Fetzer

This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie, from start to finish. Perfect acting, direction, dialogue, shots, editing. The music was icing on the cake. In a way, it sort of reminded me of "The Graduate", back in the day, with Dustin Hoffman. Not in the story, but the feel, and lessons learned. Light hearted, but serious. A film an adult will appreciate. Highly recommended.

Today's Hollywood produces movie after movie about humanity's negativity and our inevitable dystopian future. If not that, then the movie is an obvious homage to something so outlandish that it's not to be taken realistically. In Good Company, however, takes the opposite approach, showing genuine familial, work, and romantic relationships. With nearly no twists or surprises, almost no exaggeration whatsoever, this movie delivers as intended.

I bought this movie and had not seen it since it came out. I regret buying it! It's pretty boring and just plain stupid! If you really want to see it, rent it don't buy it!

I looked but I just couldn't find anything here I didn't like. When I originally saw this movie in the theater I was the only one who really just adored it and so I thought that maybe I was just overreacting, that there was bound to be something I overlooked that brings this movie down a notch. I've seen `In Good Company' about ten times not and I still have yet to find anything wrong with it.
`In Good Company' is a smart comedy about reaching a crossroads in life, whether you're middle ... Read More

TOPHER GRACE, THE MAIN ACTOR IN THIS MOVIE JUST HAS SO MANY THINGS GO WRONG IN HIS LIFE. LOVE, WORK, GENERALLY EVERYTHING. YOU REALLY BECOME VERY SYMPATHETIC IN HOPING THINGS WILL GET BETTER FOR HIM. THE MOVIE KIND OF LEAVES YOU HANGING IN THE END WONDERING IF HE WILL EVER FIND HIS SPECIAL SOMEONE. RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE BUT IT COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER ENDING.
