In Good Company (DVD review)

In Good Company (2004) starring Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson. I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out, and I liked it better on second viewing, in the living room. The main relationship in the film, between Quaid and Grace, works well. Grace plays a young hotshot brought in by a mega-corporation to take over the business Quaid works for. It's a nice snapshot of American society and corporate excess. Grace and Johansson are supposed to be a couple in this film, but it's a little hard to believe. He's supposed to be older than her, but she seems by far the more mature member of the pair. It's hard not to think of him as the kid in "That '70s Show." Grade: B+
