The Company Men

Now playing at a theatre near you.  Ratchet the recession up a notch.  This movie is about being in a high level position, living the high life, and then losing your job; about selling your home and moving in with your parents; about MBAs and skilled labor; about charity and compassion; love and loyalty; hope and despair; encouragement and disappointment, insecurity and instability; arrogance and greed; stockholders and profit margins; all for some and none for everybody else.   Very much like “Up in the Air” another movie about becoming unemployed.  This will strike you to the core with its heartfelt depictions and characterizations of how some overcome, while others are overcome in this recession, which for some, is more of a depression.
