SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

thewayofthesloth I have to say that i watch a lot of odd comedies, but this one is the best. Everyone was so well casted and their parts so well scripted. They took a real event and turned it into the best comedy with great actors willing to play the roles.The naive innocence of school-teacher Quimp and how most things work out his way, accidentally... Except for the mongoose in his shorts! Either way this movie is classic humor (right up there with the Three Amigos in my book) and i will borrow it to others with the conviction that they should love it too. If you know even a little about history, it's hilarious.

Christopher Taylor (Yodelling Llama) In terms of the "quirky" feeling, intentionally haphazard plot, and amusing-yet-one-dimensional characters, I was reminded of some of Woody Allen's earlier work. And I love early Allen. In terms of the production value, the editing, and the strength of the direction, I was reminded of later Allen. I like later Allen, but it is not the pinnacle of filmmaking by any measure. Nevertheless, I fail to see how anyone would place Company Man on the lower end of scale. It is a very funny movie. It trips over itself at times, but there are some great ideas here, and I was pretty consistently laughing throughout. Perhaps people were turned off by the loose craft and high level of script/actor dependence--apart from the over-abundance of locations, this film might have worked better as a play--but I really enjoyed myself. 8/10.

Tasos Tz. 'Company Man' is absolutely old style. The jokes, the acting, even the story. Douglas McGrath is a cross between Bob Hope and Jack Lemmon, while Sigourney Weaver's acting is reminiscent of something from the 50's.In fact, all the cast is absolutely magnificent and it consists of Paul Guilfoyle, John Torturro, Alan Cumming, Ryan Phillippe and the fabulous Anthony LaPaglia as Fidel Castro.Of course, for once more, no one is able to appreciate this movie, probably because of the absence of toilet humor and stupidity. Classy humor is something that people don't care about any more, they want rudeness, shallowness and indecency.So, we have 'Scary Movie' scoring more in imdb that a movie with Woody Allen in it. That's great! That's really great!10/10

beewhy This movie was so cleverly reminiscent of early Woody Allen (e.g. Bananas) that I was able to laugh in a way I hadn't enjoyed in years. The characters are so into their own world view and so oblivious to what's going on around them you can't help but laugh at them and love 'em at the same time. It's sly and naughty in a good old-Allen way. It's true political satire in that wonderful offhand way found in the best of Allen's early comedies which are both broad and subtle at the same time. Contrary to some reviews, I'd say this flick is not a waste of the talents of the wonderful cast. Au contraire, the sheer joy they had in making this movie comes through brilliantly. It's infectious. I can't say when I enjoyed a Turturro performance (uncredited here) as much - including in "Oh, Brother, . . ." He's utterly driven by his wacky personal politics, and yet has a vulnerability that is charming and laughable at the same time. McGrath's singleminded focus on grammar to the exclusion of matters of life and death never descends into shtick. The same high quality farcing makes the performances of Weaver, Allen, Cumming, and the rest totally delightful.I only hope that the writer/director team of Askin and McGrath (who also stars) can come up with more of this brand of insanity in the future.
