The Company Men (2010)

Corporate downsizing is viewed through the eyes of three men who suddenly find themselves terminated. An entertaining drama and engaging if somewhat cliched story. Interesting in the aspect that the 3 men are from different levels in the company, the blue collar guy who started in the factory and worked his way up, the hotshot salesman who thinks his ass glows in the dark, and the aged co-founder who is undercut by a board of trustees. While some aspects of the story were hard to fathom (Affleck's character moving in with his parents), I think some liberties were taken to include some themes that might otherwise been harder to incorporate. I don't see this one winning awards but a solid line-up of journeyman players make it a worthwhile viewing experience. The moral of this story kids is invest in yourself because the guy on the ladder above of you doesn't care if he shits on you.
