In Good Company (movie review)

In Good Company (2004), starring Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson. A corporate raider buys the company for which Quaid works, and Grace is brought in as his new, young hotshot boss. The situation is complicated by an affair between Quaid's daughter (Johansson) and his boss (Grace). This movie has the best of intentions, but I was oddly disappointed. The actors all give good performances, but the script is lacking in zing. It does a good job of depicting the devastation of the landscape in the modern, cutthroat corporate world, but not much else happens. I wanted to see a more substantial part for Johansson, who is an excellent actor, and I wanted to see her wearing less makeup than she wears here. Basically, she acts as just a foil for Grace and Quaid. Grade: B-
