Poetic Film Review: Company Man (2000)

in movies •  4 months ago 

(source: tmdb.org)

In the world of film, there lies a tale
Of Company Man, a comedy that did fail
With notable names both behind and in front
The end result was a cinematic blunt

Peter Askin and McGrath tried their hand
At creating a comedy that would stand
But despite the talent and the budget high
The film fell short, unable to fly

Set in the 1950s, a teacher's lie
Leads to CIA missions and a Cuban spy
But the humor falls flat, the jokes don't land
Leaving the audience without a helping hand

Critics panned it, audiences ignored
Company Man left them all bored
A waste of time, a waste of space
A film that should never have found a place

So when film becomes obscure and lost
Remember Company Man, at great cost
A lesson to filmmakers, a cautionary tale
Of how even the best can sometimes fail.
