Dan Foreman is headed for a shakeup. He is demoted from head of ad sales for a major magazine when the company he works for is acquired in a corporate takeover. His new boss, Carter Duryea, is half his age--a business school prodigy who preaches corporate synergy. While Dan develops clients through handshake deals and relationships, Carter cross-promotes the magazine with the cell phone division and Krispity Krunch, an indeterminate snack food under the same corporate umbrella. Both men are going through turmoil at home. Dan has two daughters, Alex, age 18, and Jana, age 16, and is shocked wh... en his wife tells him she's pregnant with a new child. Carter, in the meanwhile, is dumped by his wife of seven months just as he gets his promotion. Dan and Carter's uneasy friendship is thrown into jeopardy when Carter falls for, and begins an affair with, Dan's daughter Alex.

In Good Company sounds like what it is: a recipe for how we'd all like to end the year. It's a major studio comedy that's all the things a major studio comedy usually is not, including genial, generous-spirited and unmistakably entertaining.
It's not every day you see a comedy about the consequences of corporate takeovers, let alone one that finds time for a little romance and intergenerational conflicts. In Good Company does have a lot of balls in the air, but thanks to smart acting and expert writing and directing, it handles them pretty well.
Much of the credit should go to writer-director Paul Weitz in his initial solo outing. Weitz had collaborated with...
Great for a Sunday afternoon
It is a cleaver concept, the boss falls in love with the much older subordinates daughter, the first hour is pleasing but the comic value is not fully developed and the moralistic ending is just old fashioned hollywood rubbish that ruins far too many promising movies. Should you watch it? Yes, but wait until a wet Sunday and try not to be too judgemental.
In Todd Raynes Far From Heaven, Dennis Quaid played a twist on the 1950s stereotype of straight-laced advertising executive and husband. A perma-tanned, golf-playing, scotch-swilling company man. A man's man - too much so, as Quaid's character turned out to be gay, shattering the domestic dream.
Paul Weitz's In Good Company sees Quaid play in the same archetype - minus the homosexuality. He is Dan Foreman, head of ad-sales at 'Sports America' where he practises the kind of honest, handshake-based capitalism that has only ever existed in the movies.

I always watch his movies, and I am never disappointed. Youku, on the other hand, is always disappointing, and it took, literally, weeks to watch the entire movie, because Youku never loads right. If it had been offered by mega video, zshare, or you tube, it would have been perfect. We like this site, though, and do recommend it to all our friends. Thanks!
Oi! That was just the perfect movie for easy, relaxed viewing. Very enjoyable, not demanding. In other words, you watch and you forget. Definately worth a one watch, honestly! I'm glad I did, even if it was for the sake of the award it won at "Berlin Film Festival".
