In Good Company

In Good Company has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Paramount Plus. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 698 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Dennis Quaid's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Paramount Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, In Good Company is worth clearing space for. In Good Company gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Dan Foreman is a seasoned advertisement sales executive at a high-ranking publication when a corporate takeover results in him being placed under naive supervisor Carter Duryea, who is half his age. Matters are made worse when Dan's new supervisor becomes romantically involved with his daughter an 18 year-old college student Alex. Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace lead a cast with the timing to make it work. In Good Company came out in 2004. In Good Company earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, In Good Company respects your intelligence. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Dennis Quaid is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
