This one really hit home for me, I loved it. I was happy to see that every loose end didn't tie itself up the way most movies do. That was what made this movie feel so true to life in my opinion. I highly recommend that everyone go see it. It's a guy's date movie.

I caught this yesterday and really enjoyed it. Good performances from the leads. Was realistic in that it didn't have the cheesy happy ending were everything works out for everyone perfectly. I'd give it a 3.5/5.

I saw this. It was nothing special but a good romantic comedy.
Grace & Quaid were both very good in it.
I went to NYU so it was good seeing everything like the Hayden Dorm, etc. Brings back memories. Then again, I live like 3 blocks from Hayden dorm so I see that thing almost every day on the way to the subway.
2.5 stars out of 4

Went and saw a matinee yesterday with the wife. Great flick.
Loved the part where Dan (Quaid) went for the slam dunk during the game with the VPs.

My wife and I went to see the matinee at the Santikos Embassy Theaters (Bitters and 281), and we saw the 4:55 show... anyways, there were about 150 people at the show and only a dozen of us (by rough estimate) were under 65. I felt quite young.
Makes me wonder what the demographic for the movie really was.

Pretty damn good flick. ***1/2 out of *****.
Good cast. Topher is making a wise career move leaving That 70s Show. And once again I learned why I love Scarlett Johansson.
The crowd at my theater was definitely skewed towards those patrons that can use the senior citizen rate - hell, the wife and I brought my grandpa along.

Great movie although the pacing seemed a bit slow. I did really like the soundtrack however and I'll probably pick it up when it comes out if it hasn't already.
They didn't really develop the female characters that much but I guess that's ok since the movie is about the two males.

Since the DVD came out today (oh yes I bought it), here is a quick bump for what is in my opinion, the best overall film released in 2005 so far. Yes I know it came out the last friday of 2004, but whatever.

I'll be picking this one up as well. Loved the chemistry between Quaid and Grace.

I have to say that while I did find this film entertaining, every sales/business aspect was completely laughable.
I liked the performances (Quaid & Scarlett were great, wasn't as high on Grace as many here, but he was ok) but I didn't find the film to be too believable in many respects.

Re: In Good Company
A couple months short of making a 20 year bump, but I watched this tonight on Universal Movies. It's really good for a low energy watch.
