"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 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.

McGrath can't decide if he wants the movie to be a satire or a broad farce. Go to Full Review Gary Dowell Dallas Morning News Apr 12, 2001
Given the disastrous state of the final product, it's hard not to wonder if it was worth all the blood, sweat and celluloid. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Apr 5, 2001

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. Go to Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Feb 22, 2008
The so-called jokes and gimmicks seem recycled from the worst of the 1960s. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aaron G @GeigOmatic Jan 27, 2024 Agree with the critics... A lot of stars but flat story. OK to delete See more Sep 6, 2010 Lame spoof. had some potential but fell short in delivering. See more Jul 15, 2010 Mostly stupid and awkward film that has a few brilliantly funny scenes. Worth a watch if there is nothing else on. See more Steve S @RT32687682 Nov 21, 2009 ** (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. See more Oct 1, 2008 really funny movie:))) See more May 6, 2008 So it was the random midday movie. I wasn't expecting much so that's why it was such a cracker. I really enjoyed it's complete randomness. See more Read all reviews
