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

Reviews for Company Man
As bad movies go, Company Man falls less in the category of Affront to the Audience and more in the category of Non-Event.

Top CriticCompany Man is an object lesson in the difference between writing funny lines and writing a movie.
03/09/01
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.
03/08/01
Not since O.C. and Stiggs has a film strained so hard and so unsuccessfully to get laughs, even bungling the script's few witty lines.
03/08/01
Makes your wristwatch feel like a sundial.
03/08/01
Unspeakably bad.
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 CriticCo-writer-directors Peter Askin and Douglas McGrath saddle their mercenaries with ham-fisted direction and leave them exposed without the cover of a decent script.

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
This is a light comedy that uses a sledgehammer when a fly swatter would have done just fine.
03/08/01
McGrath is so infatuated with his own highly telegraphed silliness that even his wildest gags feel mothballed.
03/08/01
Most of the gags seem mistimed or misconceived.
03/08/01
I felt as if I'd really stumbled into Movie Critic Inferno, a place of eternal torment for sinful reviewers.
03/08/01
The spirited, hammy cast ... delivers plenty of laughs.
03/08/01
Clever, quick, over-the-top, and filled with memorable comedic moments.
03/08/01
All the characters that had been so much fun early on become largely grating.
