The Company Men seems like the other side of the story that was started with last year’s Up in the Air. Let’s face it the country has fallen on hard time, I know it and you know it. That is why we find it so easy to relate to actors in roles like these. They may not understand the plight of many Americans, but it is still reassuring to see it represented on screen in what is hopefully a non-condescending way.
Note: How awful is Ben Affleck’s golf swing?
Synopsis:
Bobby Walker is living the American dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and co-workers Phil Woodward and Gene McClary jobless, the three men are forced to re-define their lives as men, husbands, and fathers. Bobby soon finds himself enduring enthusiastic life coaching, a job building houses for his brother-in-law which does not play to his executive skill set, and perhaps the realization that there is more to life than chasing the bigger, better deal.
