(aka "Synergy (working title)" )
directed
by Paul Weitz
USA 2004
“In Good Company” is not just one of last years best
feel-good movies, its also one of last years best movies. A surprisingly
serious reflection of corporate life versus family, hidden within one charming
comedy.
When a sports magazine is taken over by some multibillionaire in a merger, Dan
(Dennis Quaid) is being demoted to assisting Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), a
kid half Dan’s age. This suits Carter fine, as he knows nothing and Dan has
about as many years experience as Carter is old.
The beauty of “In Good Company” is the way Weitz takes the story. He has come
along way since “American Pie”. Here are no easy laughs or happy end. Carter
does not get Dan’s daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson), but actually walks
away. Nor does Carter get any big promotion, but actually walks away from this
too. Where he to begin with has all the answers, or at least believes he does,
they are but buzzwords, and the more he gets to know Carter, the more he
realises, that he has no idea of what he wants with his life. Thus the movie
ends with Carter doing the only thing he loves, running.
Directed to perfection by Weitz, “In Good Company” is at the same time an
attack at the corporate mind, an embracement of the family unit and the
relationship between two men, father and son. It is a warm thoughtful film
with a heart, that will leave you with a smile on your face.

| Comments | While this
is the Danish DVD, it should be 100% identical to the UK Region 2 DVD and
the Australian Region 4 DVD, except for subtitle options. Apart from some minute macro blocking and color banding, this is a stunning transfer. Solid colors, very sharp details. Just beautiful to watch. The sound mix is likewise great. Dialogue is mainly center, but do move across the fronts, and the rears add atmosphere. I really couldn't detect that big a difference, if any, between DTS and 5.1 Dolby Digital. Note that while Region 2 and 4 has DTS, Region 1 has two dubbed tracks in 5.1 Dolby Digital, thus no DTS. The additional material is the same on all regions. It begins with an audio commentary by directory Paul Weitz and leading character Topher Grace. The commentary is lead by Weitz, is very friendly, chatty and at times "ironic", noting upon influences, design of scenes, acting, direction and so forth. One very entertaining and informative commentary. Next comes a group of featurettes, which support the background of the film pretty decent, ending up with 16 minute of deleted scenes with optional commentary by Weitz. These scenes are not cutting room floor, but genuine deleted scenes. Great stuff. I really would love to see the 3-hour original cut of this film. |
