Tries to cover too much ground involving too many poorly-written characters in too little time. Also tonedeaf to the point that a request to use the corporate jet for a shopping trip is treated with the same (lack of) gravitas as a car exhaust suicide. Highly watchable thanks to the Grade A cast (Tommy Lee Jones & Costner especially) & Mr. Roger Deakins, but Wells' punch-the-clock efficiency lets the film down.

The screenplay is really weak and the psychology of the characters simplistic to say the least. No more than an ordinary TV movie. Already forgotten.

Would have been better without all the Ben Affleck one-liners.

Really good and interesting movie. Not the smartest one, but definitely watchable. Gives insights into the value of people in companies.

Amidst the global economic downturn, a few shinny boys lose their jobs and are confronted with their own egos and test their boundaries. A fine ensemble albeit none of them quite standing out, deliver a heartfelt result that seem to be quite relevant to today's realities.

This is absolutely one of the worst pieces of trash I've ever seen. This blatant "issue" movie, in an attempt to say something important, says nothing. Infantile screenwriting. On-the-nose dialogue. How does a writer/director this bad even gain enough influence to be able to direct Roger Deakins and Chris Cooper? Why did any of them sign on? There's no surprise, inevitability or enjoyment amongst The Company Men.

A picture perfect and timely piece about America during its financial recession and the numerous men who lost their jobs in the corporate world and how it affected them, their morale, their family and their every day life. This would make a good companion piece for a movie a night with Jason Reitman's "Up In The Air".

It's pretty solid. Affleck touches on its fault when reiterating the reason for his termination at GTX: "Something about redundancy." Nevertheless, Tommy Lee Jones as the seasoned moral barometer is forever enjoyable.

Pity the poor upper class, tossed out of work and unable to have their hundred dolllar lunches or pay country club dues and keep their golf game up while searching for work. http://eddieonfilm.blogspot.com/2011/02/when-you-go-from-well-off-to-jobless.html

Very disappointing. I agree this is like a TV movie. I don't even understand the well acted comments. I think there are some FINE actors in here that turn in standard performances. I love Ben Affleck but this is def not his best imo. LIke a tv movie, they hit all the right beats of the situation but never well with a deep portrayal of the significance of each situation. The views on corporate america are too easy
