Entertainment Reviews:
Fresh comic thinking spices up this smart cookie of a satire from director-writer Paul Weitz. He makes it sexually provocative and subversively hilarious.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/5 --
A so-so script but great performances.

Common Sense Media
[T]his workplace satire gets in some licks along the way. And it gives Dennis Quaid one of his best screen showcases.
USA Today
[A] nimble, engagingly lightweight drama....It makes for an agreeable solo directing debut.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
This structure works a treat for the family tale, but on the corporate side it becomes the deal breaker that undermines a plot which pleasingly inverses the age means power paradigm.

The List
Not only the best American picture of 2004, but also the most grown-up movie to come from Hollywood in recent years.

Rating: 3/5 --
Una comedia más bien "seria" que no busca tu risa fácil sino que pases un rato entretenido junto a personajes humanos y creíbles a los que les pasan cosas humanas y creíbles.

Product Description:
In his previous effort, ABOUT A BOY, writer-director Paul Weitz managed to smoothly blend elements of dark comedy with heartwarming drama to deftly undercut both of the genre's undesirable excesses. IN GOOD COMPANY is Weitz's solo directorial debut sans his brother Chris, with whom he co-helmed the aforementioned BOY and the wildly successful AMERICAN PIE series. Here, he perfects his gift for the so-called "dramedy," softening the jagged, sometimes ugly edges of corporate satire with warmth and sentiment.
Dennis Quaid is perfectly cast as Dan Foreman, a slightly weary yet still dashing advertising boss and dedicated family man. He seems to have it all as a wholesome and admirable father, an existence which smacks of the archetypical mid-century sitcom dad that he so brilliantly portrayed as the secretly homosexual husband-father in Todd Haynes' FAR FROM HEAVEN. Enter Carter Duryea (THAT 70s SHOW's Topher Grace), a cocky young upstart hired to replace him. Before long, Dan is forced to be deferential to his new baby-faced boss, not only in the office but also at his own dinner table when Dan begins dating his lovely daughter Alex (Scarlett Johanssen). This old-fashioned, slightly soap-operatic twist is the perfect catalyst for the integration of humanity into an environment (and cinematic genre) that is so often devoid of it, and the film simultaneously lightens in spirit and deepens in emotion as a slow-yet-sure, father-and-son bond develops between the former adversaries.
