In good company

"Justine (Aniston) is a despondent discount store employee in a tiny Texas town, her segregation and restlessness are overt and her discomfort very evident.

Justine works at the cosmetics counter, where the uniformity of long days under fluorescent lights is broken up only by insubordinate public address announcements from her co-worker, Cheryl (Zooey Deschanel).

Justine’s been married for seven years to the oafish Phil (John C.Reilly), but he doesn’t seem to cherish his time with wife anymore, instead rathering to veg out on the coach all day and smoke weed with pal, Bubba (Tim Blake Nelson).

Enter, Holden (Jake Gyllenhaal). New at the retail store, Justine takes an instant shine to the mysterious youngster and finds herself soon caught up in a swirling". Source: www.webwombat.com.au

The Tyranny of the Good Girl, the Good Boy
By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

"We learned to feel a degree of safety by being a good girl, a good boy.

The problem is that, while we may have had some success with this strategy in our childhood homes, this same strategy is now causing our problems in our relationships at work and at home. When we disconnect from our own feelings, we become invisible to ourselves. Others end up treating us the way we treat ourselves, so we become invisible to others as well. As adults, we end up bringing about the very rejection we are trying to avoid, because we are rejecting ourselves".

"Paul Weitz's serio-comedy wants to have it both ways: a critique of the harsh and ruthless business world, where industrious but old people lose their jobs to young and inexperienced ones, and a heartwarming Capraesque fable about old-time professionals, America's last vestiges of moral characters and keepers of the old American way of doing business.

In Good Company is a movie that begins as a severe treatment of a generational strife, and ends up as a male bonding saga of an old pro (Dennis Quaid), who becomes a father figure and buddy of his young boss (Topher Grace), who happens to be dating his daughter (Scarlett Johansson).

Freudian critics will have a field day with the film, whose first half advocates the killing of the father-patriarch, only to negate it in the second half, and show not only the return and revenge of the father but the reassertion of his modus operandi as a desirable goal. I suspect that if the filmmakers (the Weisz brothers) were to remake The Graduate today, they would have found a way to reconcile between Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman), his parents, and the Robinsons too.

Despite its thematic inconsistencies, In the Company of Men is a generous and enjoyable film that, unlike most Hollywood corporate movies, doesn't neglect the women either.

The amiable film invites the viewers to spend two hours in the good company of vet actor Quaid, emerging star and heartthrob Grace, and the talented Johansson, who's quickly becoming the busiest and most accomplished actress of her generation.

At 51, Dan Foreman (Quaid) is living a good life is good. He's the long-term head of an ads sales at the weekly Sports America, which has just celebrated the magazine's biggest year, thanks in large part to Dan's warm, honest, handshake deal style and the departmental esprit de corps he has fostered.

Carter's zeal to deliver to upper management doesn't win him many fans at Sports America. His bottom-line approach, lacking in the human side, is at odds with the more compassionate Dan and his devotion to his staff.
In Good Company then turns from a corporate picture to a romantic comedy, in which it's only a matter of time before the father finds out and explodes, in public, of course. This is one of the film's interesting points, for the corporate handbook has little to say about sleeping with your employee's collegiate daughter. There's also the danger that if word got out, news of the affair might threaten Carter's detente with Dan, Alex's intimate relationship with her father, and the progress the two salesmen have made at Sports America.

Rushing to resolve all the tensions in a crowd-pleasing manner, the last reel is formulaic, and viewers familiar with the conventions of romantic comedy will be able to guess how the film ends.
"In Good Company" is a nicer, kinder film, one that preaches for reconciliation between fathers and sons, and a business style that merges the good old ways with the not-so-good but necessary new ways of doing business". Source: emmanuellevy.com
