<br>movie review by Gary Johnson</font>
<font size=3 face="Book Antiqua,Century Schoolbook,Times New Roman">
<p>With <i>In Good Company</i>, Writer/director/producer Paul Weitz, who first scored with the teen comedy <i>American Pie</i> and moved on to adult themes with <i>About a Boy</i>, has crafted a story that doesn't shy away from the movie's darker implications--the layoffs, the destroyed lives, the humiliation. This milieu could easily have become oppressive, but Weitz follows the model of the great Billy Wilder (as in <i>The Apartment</i>) by showing us how pain, when handled with some sensitivity, can be rife with comedic potential.
