In Good Company

In Good Company (2004) is a comedy-drama by Paul Weitz you can watch online on iFILM. Dan Foreman is past fifty and runs ad sales at a glossy sports magazine. Then a corporate takeover hands him a new boss half his age.

Carter Duryea talks a smooth game about synergy and knows almost nothing about publishing. Suddenly Dan answers to the kid who replaced him. Home offers no relief either: his wife is pregnant, his daughter Alex has just started college, and money is tight. Then it turns out Carter is quietly dating Alex. Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace play this awkward generational standoff, with Scarlett Johansson as the daughter caught in the middle.

There are no big twists here. The film leans on small, true moments about age, work and the desk that can be taken from you overnight. The humor is gentle, never mean. Stream In Good Company (2004) online on iFILM.
