Lightweight with often humorous dialogues, very familiar situations and the link to hard business life with the inexorable social consequences for the employee.
Dennis Quaid is handsome in his role of the man who has to deal with a few things in a short time and Scarlett Johansson is very charming.

“For what it's worth, I enjoy talking to you more than anyone else.”
Sympathetic film Not much happens, but the story is interesting. That is also due to the actors who know how to make it all immersive. In Good Company has a number of characters who are at crossroads in their lives and face difficult challenges. Recognizable challenges that we all face.
Quaid, Grace and Johansson do an excellent job and the supporting roles are also well filled. In Good Company has no dramatic or exciting plot developments, but puts its characters at the center. With an airy atmosphere and a pleasant pace. Fine.

Nice.
But I am also a fan of Topher Grace. In the beginning he never really caught my eye, but after American Ultra I started to appreciate him more and more. This to the point where I want to see every movie with Grace. And this movie was one of them. The expectations have been properly fulfilled.
But it is above all Grace who really knows how to shine. I don't know how he does it, but in every role he knows how to give a certain charm. He sometimes chooses the wrong roles, but here he fits in perfectly. The charm manages to radiate from it, and with this Grace creates a nice main character.
But Quaid was not too bad for me. Normally I think he goes down in American movies, but here he fits a bit better. He mainly does his thing, but does it very well. Although he will not quickly create a memorable character like this. Too bad, because despite being a rather American actor, I think he has it in him.
Movie is entertaining. Not earth-shattering, but fun for once. It collects a lot of clichés, but fortunately knows how to deal with them effectively enough. Most of the power seems to come from the lead role, in this case Grace, but because of that the film manages to just be very nice from the corner.
Well furnished for the rest, some nice pictures of the city. But the film mainly wants to tell its story and does so with enough conviction. At times the film slips for a while, like Quaid's speech during McDowell's visit, but the film always manages to remain light-hearted and entertaining, and that's what it's about I think.
