Review of In the Company of Men (1997) by Michelle T — 25 Mar 2009
I saw ?Reasons to be Pretty? last week and was so impressed I had to watch a Neil LaBute movie. About the play: I do have an important question. I always assumed most men would be far too either: protective, egotistical or delusional to admit, especially to another guy, that their girlfriend is not that attractive.
No? Anyway, In the Company of Men is a little far-fetched to be believable (are people really THAT horrible? On purpose?! And the same woman that would consider going on a second date with Aaron Eckhart?s character would more than likely not go on a second date with the other, nerdy, insecure dude) but I really liked it anyway.
The plot alone: two men with a plan to break some unsuspecting vulnerable woman to prove to themselves that men rule. Anyone who simply thinks that up is a genius. I?m not saying it?s CORRECT, but it?s still smart.
It?s like saying things aloud you would never tell a soul for fear of being immediately committed.
