The witty and charming In Good Company offers laughs at the expense of corporate culture.

Even better, Weitz asks tough questions without easy answers, pointing daggers at companies like the very one he's busy making motion pictures for.

While In Good Company has a few moments of comedy that work, it inescapably feels like a sitcom.

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.

It must resonate more with people (like me) who've worked for large companies and have experienced layoffs, mergers "synergization", etc. I could really relate.

It started out ok then it got pretty boring and lame quickly. Story was boring and characters were uninteresting. Couldn’t finish it.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

An interesting enough story with some funny moments but nothing more than an average movie. The chemistry between Grace & Johansson is one damp squib.

Surprisingly heart warming however the story feels very under developed and yet feels prolonged for no good reason.
