Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) is living the American dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and co-workers Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper) and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones) 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 (Kevin Costner) 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. With humor, pathos, and keen observation, writer-director John Wells (the creator of "ER") introduces us to the new realities of American life. -- (C) WeinsteinMovie Title : The Company Men

Review For Movie The Company Men
It turns out that middle-ranking executives and even some corporate board members have feelings. Who knew?Trevor Johnston-Time Out
Everything is pat, from the stereotyped characters (Kevin Costner plays the noble blue-collar worker) to the obvious plot turns.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday
This is a film without spark. The frustrations are real, but they are neither terribly entertaining nor enlightening.
Tom Long-Detroit News
"The Company Men" is a worthwhile outing that takes despair - but also resilience - seriously.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
The venerated American export that The Company Men most recalls isn't seagoing vessels -- it's hourlong dramatic television shows.
Dana Stevens-Slate
Turns out three stories are two too many. The Company Men should have been downsized.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
A bit heavy on the cliches, but this sermon will connect with anyone for whom "the new reality" of today's economy hits close to home
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
It may not be the "feel good movie of the year," but it is a fascinating look at a very prominent and ongoing situation.
Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
There are some witty observations, but these, along with the use of natural light, have the effect of bringing a bad situation into starker perspective.
Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy
The points made are good ones, even if you wish they could work them in a more subtle way. At the very least, it's a hopeful take on a troubling issue, with a genuine belief in old-fashioned Americana values as the key to survival.
Andreas Heinemann-Flicks.co.nz
has a stinging sense of immediacy and a strong sense of narrative momentum that keeps the multiple stories in balance, as well as judiciously managing sympathy for characters who are usually seen as villains during economic hard times
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
Excellent performances and a fine use of detail counterbalance a somewhat weak storyline.
Rich Heldenfels-Akron Beacon Journal
It's certainly a screwy recommendation to make, but The Company Men is a worthwhile journey, supplying a catharsis and understanding that supports a rather unsavory topic.
Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com
...well-executed programmatic melodrama, and there are some scenes that evince real heart, probably because the actors seem naively committed to the project.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
As an actor's showcase, you're definitely in good company.
Dan Gear-Moviedex
... an engrossing, if uneven, ensemble drama featuring strong performances by Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones and especially Chris Cooper as the most desperate of the trio.
Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope
The movie seemingly can't decide whose team it's on, salt-of-the-earth blue-collars or the bourgeoisie.
Dave White-Movies.com
Takes an unpopular group - upper management! - and humanises their involvement in screwing the world. Quite the achievement, really.
Ben McEachen-Empire Magazine Australasia
A solid drama about the ill effects of downsizing.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Unemployment is not a naturally cinematic thing. A far-too-neat conclusion notwithstanding, This is a decent exploration of the psychology of what happens when you loose your job.
Marc Fennell-Triple J
A serious, schematic, well-acted film about adjusting to new lifestyles in a changing world...
Philip French-Guardian [UK]
