7/10
surprisingly intelligent movie
20 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
By the time the 2004 Oscars went up, this entry wasn't even nominated in every list, but I know this has something to say.

Dennis Quaid plays a common magazine salesman exec, interwining his common goal when his company has been bought by some hotshot global conglomerate, her wife getting pregnant at her 50's, her daughter wanting to study at an expensi...I mean, exclusive school,...and his authority being replaced by a new boss whose half his age and looks silly in organizing business.

The mixture of these spices contrasts up with his belief in his own sanity, ranging form decisive measures at home up to the office and his clients. Seldom I had watched a movie that intelligent, specially upon putting relationships with his new boss (which you need to watch this movie how he hated him more as the story develops). The character ideas are well-acted and good. I was impressed with the concept of the movie. Even the ending seemed right and hopeful.

I hope you try this movie. Well, it's not really a great movie like Lawrence of Arabia, but at least you may try it in its own uniqueness of story.
