Men Not At Work

The Company Men
Recession Unspecial
Official Website | Trailers & Mo

Good luck to those who have to sell a movie about people losing their jobs and finding it hard to find a new one on an American public going thru the same exact conundrum.  We go to the movies to escape our daily lives, not to swim in its misery!  That’s the short of John WellsCompany Men, a timely taking stock of where we’re at, but really, who wants to pay to see something like this now?  Well, for those who found Up In The Air a lil too chipper and silly (umm, us, and we guess no one else?), Company is a better dose of reality.  It’s a bland reality, and thus, purty much a bland movie, filled with quality actors doing nuttin but sporting frowny faces:  there’s smuggy Ben Affleck, who goes from playing perfect house with Rosemarie DeWitt to the frowny poor house, and then helping to rebuild houses with his frowny jacka$$ brother-in-law Kevin Costner.  And there’s Chris Cooper, a too old to be rehired bloke, who’s smile is more of a frown than his frown is!  Tommy Lee Jones doesn’t even need to emote sadness, as the wrinkles on his face are like a thousand frowns.  Even the company people doing the downsizing, like Craig T. Nelson and Maria Bello, have nothing to smile about.  We’re hactually frowning as we type this!!  Dangs, someone peas get this movie a job!!!

House As A Life:  the house that Ben & Kevin fix up is a lil history all its own!  according to this siteThe Captain House was built in 1804-1807. The basement served as a hiding place for the Underground Railroad. The home across the street was the temporary home of the first president of the United States, George Washington during the Revolutionary War. woah!
