brilliant actors, brilliant editing
... View MoreWatch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
... View MoreThis is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If I bring up this movie to my friends in film circles, most of them have not seen it but they do remember the backlash momentum that built up around the film during its release.To cut to the chase, this film examines the Cuban Revolution through the eyes of a would-be CIA agent. Wait till you see who plays Batista, and of course, he could only play him in one way, sort of his calling-card. But it works, because it's not what you expected. Most of us would think Batista is the French word for "prison", anyway. The jazz quartet was one of the most inspired gags in recent memory.
... View MoreThis movie seemed really boring at first, but after about 15 mins I got it and it takes off with a loud clear resounding laugh! I was pleased to see that I was laughing at something that was actually funny for a change... in lieu of the "im so hip i chuckle at nothing because its snl" (so-called) humor. (snl hasn't been funny for 20 of the last 25 years.)The cast is perfect in acting in the style of a 50's movie. The ones that stood out to me are:Douglas McGrath .... Alan Quimp = brilliant brilliant deliverySigourney Weaver .... Daisy Quimp = she can play a real witch :)John Torturro .... Crocker Johnson = psycho-soldier extrodinaireAnthony LaPaglia .... Fidel Castro = warm cuddly versionSee this movie if you want to be reminded that humor isn't necessarily vulgar, but just plain funny! 9/10 Zafoid
... View More'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
... View MoreI thought that this was a very funny comedy. Performances were all good, especially Turturro's, but Weaver, Allen, and Leary also gave good performances. Many parts had me laughing pretty hard. Plot was pretty far-fetched, but that was what made it funny. Liked it enough to watch it twice, and would recommend it to others.Score: 7/10
