Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media A so-so script but great performances. Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Great acting and scripting makes this a package well worth taking. Rated: 3.5/5 May 12, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Despite its shortcomings, In Good Company is a heartfelt film that touches on the elements of human behavior. Easy-going with an easy gentle flow, there is a realism that will connect with us all. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List 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.

Gareth v An interesting enough story with some funny moments but nothing more than an average movie. The chemistry between Grace & Johansson is one damp squib. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Joanna B Surprisingly heart warming however the story feels very under developed and yet feels prolonged for no good reason. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Audience Member This came on while I was making dinner, the actors made it sound interesting enough so I decided to give it a go from the start. A light but fleshed out story with convincing characters in awkward situations make it watchable throughout but you're ready for it to end with about 15 minutes left. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review steve d Cute but forgettable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ron t I love this movie. If you don't get it, don't get married. I was 48 in 2004, so I identify with Dennis Quaid's character. I worked for a large corporation, that was totally screwed by a private equity firm, so I think it's an accurate portrayal of modern corporations. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved Topher Grace. That is really the only good thing I can say about this movie. It was slow and predictable, and it seriously felt like they accidentally "left out" the ending. One of the worst endings ever. Left me wondering how everything turned out for everyone in the movie. Very disappointing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
