New on DVD/Blu-Ray - THE COMPANY MEN

Sure, it sounds like some sort of mafia movie, but in fact, this is a strong drama set in the midst of the financial crysis, providing thoughtful insight into the restructuring of the corporate world. The story of people getting fired, trying to make a fresh start while maintaining their lifestyles and discovering a new pespective of things they took for granted is handled with a surprisingly positive tone by writer/director John Wells, a man with extensive TV writing experience ("The West Wing", "ER", "Shameless") and ultimately milked to its full potential. Great acting showcase from veteran actors Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper, and a surprisingly good dramatic turn from Ben Affleck. Not a timeless classic, but an often overlooked gem.

Product Description : Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) is living the proverbial American dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and co-workers Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper) and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones) jobless, the three men are forced to re-define their lives as men, husbands and fathers. Bobby soon finds himself enduring enthusiastic life coaching, a job building houses for his brother-in-law (Kevin Costner) that does not play to his executive skill set, and perhaps -- the realization that there is more to life than chasing the bigger, better deal. With humor, pathos, and keen observation, writer-director John Wells (the creator of "ER") introduces us to the new realities of American life.
