  1. At its best, Company Man hums from one piece to the next, a harmless, good-natured, often silly spoof with a few cutting barbs and a comic showman's love of the well-executed gag.
  2. Reviewed by: Mike Clark

    A few chuckles will be had by both the rabble and more learned brains.
  3. The scenario looms as a brain-dead invitation for the stars to embarrass themselves, and Company Man wastes little time in fulfilling that glum suspicion.
  4. A painfully flat spoof of the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.

    How this film is on the list of movies of all-time low scores, i will never understand! This movie is hillarious from start to finsh! Usually I am one to agree with critics, but this time they are just wrong! Expand
  2. I meant to say Woody Allen does NOT take credit. So this is an addendum to my glowing review for the marvelous comedy. The scenes with Dennis Leary and his grammatical mistakes are absolutely hilarious. Expand
  3. Ingenious plot! Most people do not remember, or have knowledge of the historical content involved in the making of this hilarious movie. Veyr good casting (including non credited Woody Allen), John Tuturo, Alan Cumming etc, etc... make this movie a very humorous and interesting story of America's past with Cuba.
    Don't forget Denis Leary and his bout with the Grammatical GENIUS LOL! OneWhoKnows has the BEST idea of how this movie works your brain! Congrats to him/her!!

    This is the worst movie I have ever seen and I'm not kidding or stretching the truth. It's horrible. It's not even so bad it's funny, it's so bad it's bad. Expand
