Title: Really a movie about generations....
Review: This movie was one of those that surprise because of the misleading trailers. I really thought this was going to be more of a screw-ball comedy between father/daughter/boy-boss. It actually turns out to be more about finding your way in the world--both at the beginning and at the middle. Topher Grace is great as Dennis Quaid's younger boss. He has just the right mixture of anxiousness and charm needed to make the character believable. He reminded me of Tom Hanks quite a bit. Dennis Quaid is also wonderful as the middle aged man being squeezed out of a job he's held for 20 some years. The whole vision of the company take over and "synergy" is a great metaphor for what's going on during this movie.That's not to say it doesn't have it's lighter moments. The comedy is fun but not in the same was as say, "Meet the Fockers". I'd peg it as a Dramady..and a fine one at that.
Is the review positive or negative?
