Movie Review by AJ

Coming off of his excellent 2002 dramedy About a Boy, director Paul Weitz found another similar charmer in the highly entertaining In Good Company. While it doesn't match About a Boy's casual poignancy, sharp notes of sardonic humor, and laugh quota, In Good Company is still a tightly-written and touching look at the deconstruction of life, love, and wealth in today's crazy corporate world. Weitz has two solid leads in Topher Grace (who manages to make me forget he was ever on the terrible That 70's Show) and the ever-durable Dennis Quaid, and though the romantic subplot between Grace's Carter Duryea and Scarlett Johansson's Alex Foreman never really takes off--mostly due to Johansson's somewhat awkward, too knowing performance--Weitz's lithe screenplay works the relationship mechanics between Grace, Quaid, and Johansson very well. Charming, genuinely funny and touching light entertainment.
