Subhamoy Ghosh Dastidar 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.

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.

Jonas1969 This is a favorite of mine. All the main characters are great but it's the interplay between Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace that really shines.Topher is a young ambitious corporate climber steeped in the modern cut-throat business world. Quaid represents the era where customer relations were important. The clash gets more complicated with personal drama & romance but it never looses itself and is poignant both in its' comedy and tragedy. Scarlett does a decent days work, but Marg Helgenberger is a lot better and shows that she can really act. All the other cast members are good - and Malcolm McDowell does a great cameo.I highly recommend this to all.

leereddy In Good Company is an American comedy/drama written and directed by Paul Weitz. It explores themes of love, career, family, ambition and numerous other life issues such as where one belongs in this crazy world.Headed by a fine cast including Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson and many more, it tells the story of Dan Foreman (played brilliantly by Quaid), a veteran advertisement sales executive who finds himself at the mercy of a corporate shake up and subsequently winds up with a new boss, Carter Duryea (played by Topher Grace), who happens to be literally half his age. Carter is the epitome of the young ambitious go-getter and from the off set discovers some of the pitfalls to inhabiting such a role in life. This is really fantastic little film. Superbly written, great performances across the board and manages to avoid many cleches in the process. Quaids turn as the loyal and seasoned ad exec is brilliant and equalled by Topher Grace who is all at once cringe worthy as well as someone the audience can sympathise with, which is no mean feat when occupying the role of a corporate suck up who forces sushi on you at every opportunity. Scarlett Johansson also puts in a top showing as Foremans daughter and conveys a real sweetness to the character and delivers some sublime moments.There's very little to criticize here, an all round great quality piece with no fat, very believable characters and a ending that avoids being trite and conceited. The soundtrack is well suited and the overall production of this film high level and will left me feeling uplifted and content that I'd seen a cracking picture.
