September 20, 2008Good film and script, don't really like Scarlett Johansson in this one but the plot is interesting and Dennis Quaid and Topher do a good job.

February 28, 2008A smart, witty, compelling and very entertaining mixture of comedy and drama. Satisfying and engagging. Dennis Quaid is at the top of his game, giving a great, subtle and excellent performance. Topher Grace is teriffic, he proves he has a future in film. It's well-crafted, heartf... read more

December 13, 2007This romantic business comedy actually makes the best of its unusual initial ideas: a business man is replaced by someone half his age who additionally starts to date his daughter. That doesn't exactly cause an exciting, unforgettable ride but a pretty entertaining, sometimes fun... read more

November 5, 2007Coupling a poignant screenplay with smart direction, In Good Company alleviates itself from predictability into an intelligent, enjoyable, and emotional experience told through the situations of commercial coldness. The film exterior has a morose, almost downbeat tone as we trudg... read more

January 31, 2007This movie didn't know what it wanted to be. Was it funny? Dramatic? Confused. Could have been a lot better.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
A bland, occasionally phlegmatic pastiche of cliches and dull encounters. Full Review
January 14, 2005
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
If the rest of the movie were as good as Scarlett, we might give a damn.
January 14, 2005
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
A richly satisfying and darkly funny movie about, of all places, a workplace. Full Review
January 14, 2005
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Feels like a movie written by and for marketing types -- Quaid and Marg Helgenberger (as his wife) to appeal to baby boomers, and Grace and Johansson for Generation Y. That's a business strategy, not ... Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A rare species: a feel-good movie about big business. It's about a corporate culture that tries to be evil and fails. Full Review

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
It's more fun than Sideways and just as adult, but because it hews closer to genre formula (and therefore is somewhat more obvious), you'll find it on few if any Top 10 lists. Full Review

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
It is clever and thoughtful and has the added benefit of being about people you may recognize as fellow wage earners, for better or worse. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
Topher Grace, Dennis Quaid and Scarlett Johansson all turn in fine performances. But they all seem to tread water, waiting for the next big wave that doesn't come.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Makes the word mainstream seem a little less pejorative. It's a broadly appealing comedy that's neither stupid nor vulgar and, as such, deserving of praise.
