The Company Men
All-Star cast is undone by a filmmaker who wanted to be 1st-to-market w/ corporate downsizing story during the ongoing economic “Depression” (cap-“D” intentional.) “Everyman” tale told so generically it almost belittles the raw, gut-busting emotion that so many people and families are experiencing. John Wells (of West Wing fame) is clearly not a subject-matter-expert, but if THIS cast can’t pull it off…it may just be too soon for the story-of-our times from the everyman perspective to be told. We still don’t know how it ends!
