Review of The Company Men (2010) by Teddy V — 05 Jul 2012

First, Craig fucking Nelson should never be in any movie concerning any topic at any time perpetually throughout the universe, because he clearly sucks dog shit ... well. Second, this movie does about as much to develop any sort of inter-character relationships as Saddam Hussein did to foster trust and understand with either or both George Bushes.

.. That being said, can someone please explain to me why Kevin Costner was compelled to be in this movie? Is he as fucking broke as his character? Can someone also explain why Chris Cooper was so thoroughly wasted? He was the only real heavy hitter here when it came to pure acting talent.

(I never thought I'd see the day when an American movie would use bad economics to justify suicide...fuck me, fucking lame.) Even Tommy Lee is essentially wasted as the script is completely focused on Ben boring Affleck, an actor only slightly above the incredibly low standard Craig shitstain Nelson sets for the rest of .

.. existence. That being the case, this movie was okay, but essentially an Affleck reverse Good Will Blunting stroke-fest barely worth watching. Boo-hoo, America sucks these days and no one can get a job doing anything decent.

I particularly enjoyed how Affleck's bad luck comes in the form of sorry-we-gave-that-job-to-someone-else-after-we-said-it-was-yours, a pride-swallowing family connected blue-collar job, and just goofy miscommunication hijinx.

How lame are these people? I know that CEOs make way too much money and all the little guys are mired in the shit, but if you aren't going to actually say anything about it, what the fuck is the point in beating around the bush? Make me care or shut the fuck off, because this movie has an important message to get across, but is does a piss poor job of doing so.
