BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

PodBill Just what I expected

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

studioAT This is a likable enough film, with lots of people appearing in it who could play the roles in which they are cast in their sleep.It has it's moments, and a better than average script. I especially liked the Topher Grace character and his relationship with the pre-Modern Family Ty Burrell.I wouldn't say it's the best romantic comedy ever made, but it certainly has it's fair share of good points and moments. It's also not rude or daft, it's a well made romantic comedy, and that's a rare thing.I wouldn't watch it again, but I enjoyed it.

edwagreen 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.

PWNYCNY This movie was reaching for something but then stops and tries to muddle through as a comedy, which it is not. It is a hard sell to make light of people losing their jobs and playing up to bosses, and the phoniness of the corporate world. Yet, this is what this movie tries to do, with mixed results. Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace are good as the middle aged guy and the much younger upstart who find themselves in an awkward business relationship The story revolves around their relationship, which provides the basis for some satirical swipes at the institution of the family, parent-child relations, adolescent issues, middle-age crisis and the coldness of the corporate world. The problem is that the movie tries to treat all these problems as fluff, and as a result, the movie comes off as superficial. Comedy means making people laugh, but it's hard to laugh at people in crisis.

wes-connors "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
