Even an out-of-the -concrete-jungle Woody Allen can hardly liven up the pace here.

Reviews for Company Man
One can't help but recall Bananas and long for the days when insipid wasn't taken to be inspired, and fatuous wasn't assumed to be funny.
03/08/01
A breezy, originally plotted film... [sunk] by its jitterbug tone and McGrath's jittery screen presence.
09/03/02
The tone is relentlessly frenetic and stupidly juvenile.

In 2001, the political satire in Company Man has about as much relevance as listening to Mort Sahl tell Eisenhower jokes.
03/09/01
With its incredible vanishing hero and its forgettable jokes, there's nothing to stick with you, nothing that sticks out enough to recommend.
04/12/01
This is a light comedy that uses a sledgehammer when a fly swatter would have done just fine.
03/08/01
Company Man is one of the year's early treasures.
02/20/01
The rapid-fire gags are relentlessly cute and announce themselves with all the subtlety of a pounding headache.
03/16/01
There's an air of old-fashioned, if somewhat stale, innocence that hovers over "Company Man " as its singular saving grace for being merely a jumble of bland sketch comedy skits.
05/19/09
Most of the gags seem mistimed or misconceived.
03/08/01
McGrath cowrote Bullets over Broadway and directed Emma. Peter Askin directed the stage version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. So why is this movie so bad?
03/08/01
An unusually annoying experience for viewers who might be expecting more fireworks in their satire.

Top CriticMakes your wristwatch feel like a sundial.
03/08/01
The story is thin, and the film looks as if it was thrown together on a whim.
04/12/01
McGrath can't decide if he wants the movie to be a satire or a broad farce.
04/26/01
A lamentably incompetent spy send up…a lame period comedy stalled in neutral and filled with drop dreadful jokes rejected from Get Smart! and disbarred vaudeville routines.
