What critics compared In Good Company to
If it feels about 10 years too late to release a movie like The Internship, the new comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as shoe-leather salesmen desperately trying to avoid obsolescence in an online marketplace, that’s because one actually was released, in 2004: In Good Company, Paul Weitz’s film about a middle-aged executive replaced by a new boss half his age.
Unfortunately, director/co-writer Paul Weitz, who previously directed American Dreamz, In Good Company, About a Boy and American Pie, has taken an initially intriguing and imaginative premise and turns it into a meandering, painfully dull fantasy adventure with no fun, thrills or surprises to spare.
