David Paymer









You Will Love This





Nowadays its 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) find s 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 Dans house to

escape his loneliness, where he meets Dans 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 p lot,

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 arent 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 writers 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 isnt

likely to win any awards, but its honest and honorable; theres a core of

truth to its characters and their problems arent resolved too neatly.

Sometimes, thats worth watching. --Bret Fetzer



Personal Review: In Good Company [HD DVD] starring Dennis

Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson, Marg Helgenberger,

David Paymer

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.
