Review of The Company Men (2010) by Ross P — 30 Aug 2011

As someone who has been laid off in this recession (which the mainstream media and gubment tell us is over! Ha-ha!) I thought this film was a good shot at being empathetic. It's nothing to deep, and for people wanting to "escape reality," (which is a very valid reason to watch movies) I found the final notes to be a bit too optimistic given the current nature of things.

I did enjoy Affleck's line about watching the Price is Right... anyone who's been laid off probably has had the theme song stuck in their head at some point or another.
