In Good Company
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: *1* *2* *3*
- Commentary: All time favorite for both of us. Right up there with My Best Friend's Wedding.
This is a jaunty, what-do-I-do-now-that-I-have-no-job film. As with most of these types of films, the solution the movie conjures is impractical at best, impossible at worst. It's a feel good scenario, though. When Mom first saw the film she chuckled most of the way through. Although she's not really aware of it, she's a big fan of Dennis Quaid (his screen presence, that is; I doubt she'd know his name if she heard it).
Update 5/12/2022: I didn't acquire The Day After Tomorrow until after she died; I wasn't even aware of it. I'm sorry it was late coming to my awareness because I knew, as I first watched it, if she'd seen it, she would have drooled throughout the entire movie because of the presence of Dennis Quaid.
