‘In Good Company’

By Steve Brown

When a 26-year-old hotshot suddenly takes the job of a 51-year-old veteran and becomes the elder’s boss, it’s going to be an awkward situation.

“In Good Company” puts the painfully awkward star of “That ’70s Show,” Topher Grace, in the hotshot role and has Dennis Quaid as the seasoned, over-the-hill family man who now takes orders from a Starbucks-drinking yuppie.

The drama/comedy/whatever-it-is pokes good fun at corporate job shuffling, has great chemistry between Quaid and Grace, but completely falls flat with a Disney-esque, quick-fix ending that unrealistically portrays each character as blissfully content.

When the credits roll, the viewer will either utter a moan of disgust or wonder if some scratch on the DVD made the movie skip.
