In Good Company
In Good Company is about a 52-year-old man who finds himself under a 26-year-old boss when the company he works for is bought out. The story is about both of these men - one being older, a father, struggling to keep his home and his job; the other being young, insecure, and trying to figure out what truly matters in his life. When the boss, Carter, starts dating the man (Dan)'s daughter, things start to get a little bit complicated.
I enjoyed this movie. It's got a pleasant sense of humor, and the dynamics between young and old work very well - between Carter and Dan, between Dan and his kids, and between the "old way" and the new in the workplace. I'd even say that good values were promoted, if they hadn't turned Dan's daughter into somewhat of a slut.
All of the actors work very well together, and while it wasn't "THE" most hilarious movie or "THE" best written script, it was still pretty enjoyable. I really liked Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace.
