The Company Men 2010



The Company Men (2010)    Bobby Walker has a big house, a new Porsche, golf club membership, a wife and two kids and now he's out of a job with severance pay for four months.  He's confident he'll have another job within a couple of days or weeks.  This doesn't happen, 12 years at his job, a lot of experience but a struggling economy.  The four months pass quickly and Bobby has to do something?
    Are possessions and your job the true measure of how much you are worth as a person?  Can it be something else that is more lasting like relationships with family, friends, former co-workers and even people you meet on your job hunt?  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

105 min, Drama directed by John Wells with Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper, Maria Bello, Rosemarie DeWitt, Kevin Costner.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.8 out of 10, 67% critic 55% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
