"Company Man" is the story of a nerdy Connecticut grammar school teacher who stumbles into becoming a legendary international spy hero in an effort to avoid his nagging wife. With total and blissful incompetence, Allen Quimp (Douglas McGrath) is one part Inspector Clouseau, one part Mr. Bean, and no parts James Bond. His misadventures give way to his meteoric rise in the CIA, and Quimp soon finds himself leading a band of Agency misfits in a series of lunatic attempts to overthrow Castro.

Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 1/4 Apr 30, 2001 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution McGrath can't decide if he wants the movie to be a satire or a broad farce. Rated: C+ Apr 26, 2001 Full Review Gary Dowell Dallas Morning News Given the disastrous state of the final product, it's hard not to wonder if it was worth all the blood, sweat and celluloid. Apr 12, 2001 Full Review Beth Pratt Common Sense Media Political '60s spoof won't interest most teens. Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com There's an air of old-fashioned, if somewhat stale, innocence that hovers over "Company Man " as its singular saving grace for being merely a jumble of bland sketch comedy skits. Rated: C- May 19, 2009 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The so-called jokes and gimmicks seem recycled from the worst of the 1960s. Feb 22, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Aaron G Agree with the critics... A lot of stars but flat story. OK to delete Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Audience Member I liked the movie as it reflects what is going on with the economy today. Ben Affleck, way to go!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Lame spoof. had some potential but fell short in delivering. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Mostly stupid and awkward film that has a few brilliantly funny scenes. Worth a watch if there is nothing else on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member ** (out of four) There was some potential here, but is, unfortunately squandered on silly gags and an unfunny script. Set against the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Douglas McGrath stars as a teacher whose wife (Sigourney Weaver) wants him to get a better social position. He ends up helping a Russian Ballet dancer (Ryan Phillippe) to defect to the U.S. setting off an international incident.
