I expected fairly little out of The Company Men, as the trailer seemed to highlight Ben Affleck screaming, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and for God's sake, people like me." No one wants to see that. But I did anyway and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not saying that The Company Men was that great, but it is incredibly relevant, quite accurate, and one of the few films that has touched on the recent economic climate.
The Company Men stars Ben Affleck, so naturally everyone is from Boston. His company has just cut three thousand jobs, and his position is no exception. Naturally, he gets pissed off and decides to get a new job, because he's Ben Affleck and everyone should be begging to employ him. Turns out, no one cares.
