Company Man

Rating:
Summary: A good concept
Review: "Company Man" is a spoof/comedy which is basically a work of fiction but placed in a certain place in History. It's 1961, around the time of the Bay of Pigs, and English Grammar teacher, Allen Quimp goes CIA agent(much to the chagrin of the CIA, to them he is a joke). He is sent on a "secret mission" to Cuba to assassinate Castro.
I'm not sure who this guy is who plays Allen, but he reminded me a little of Kevin Spacey, in the physical sense. Acting wise, he was hardly Oscar material, but I think he pulls the role off quite well. Especially up against Sigourney Weaver, who plays his greedy/selfish wife, Daisy. She gets some of the funniest lines in the film. John Toutorro plays his partner in crime, and he is very good and funny in his role. An almost unrecognizable Anthony Lapalgia plays Castro. Woody Allen is also in it, and he gets some funny lines also. Sprinkle in a little bit of Alan Cumming, playing his usual flamboyant character, and you have an interesting and entertaining line up of actors in this little comedy. I was entertained, and I laughed more in this than I have at most of the comedies I watched from the year 2001.
If you are a fan of films that spoof points in history, than this may be right up your alley. It will at least give you a good chuckle or two.

Summary: very clever, very funny
Review: A *very* funny movie, but young audiences might not get all of it. Older folks will get all the silly bits that depend on historical references.

The main character delivers the laughs in clever ways, projecting a personality like Chevy Chase's Griswold, but without pratfalls. The humor is all in the ideas, delivered by the script itself.

The appearance by Woody Allen (who gets no billing on the box or credits) appears to be a cameo at first. A short while later someone who looks like Rob Reiner makes an appearance as Fidel Castro. It isn't (Reiner nor Castro). Woody later reappears, so it turns out to be more than a cameo.

Reduced to four stars due to some perverse nude activity at the very end that should have earned it an R rating. (Actually, it should have been omitted.)

Summary: Saved by John Turturro's scenery-chewing
Review: Boy, I've been watching this movie for about a month this week, & I'm still in the first 90 minutes. Turturro is weird, which is why I like him, almost as weird as he was in Big Lebowski. Sigourney Weaver makes you want to sic an Alien on her. Dennis Leary is a throwaway here.

Summary: Worst film in history
Review: Simply put, this is the worst film in the history of cinema. A title it is bound to keep for the next 500 years. If you like bad movies, this is a gift from heaven. If you don't like them, avoid this like the next atomic bomb explosion.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie is hilarious!

The comedy isn't in disgusting acts but rather in the script. The main actor is a very funny character. The whole movie I was laughing throughout as they the script was very upbeat and always in tempo with what was going on screen. The acting was perfect with the script and all the actors did a great job portraying this movie.

See this movie! Rent it or buy it see it for yourself, you will not be disappointed.
