About this product

Product Information

A high-powered sales executive struggles with his own dwindling sense of self-worth after becoming a victim to corporate downsizing. Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) has a big house, a new Porsche, a beautiful wife, and two adoring kids. When he's not in the office, he can usually be found on the golf course, perfecting his game or clinching an important business deal. But when the axe falls, Bobby and his colleagues Phil (Chris Cooper) and Gene (Tommy Lee Jones) find their necks on the chopping block, and their futures looking bleak. In order to stay afloat, Bobby reluctantly goes to work as a carpenter for his brother-in-law (Kevin Costner). But building houses is a far cry from the boardroom, and just as Bobby starts to wonder if he'll ever taste success again, he realizes that true prosperity doesn't come in the form of a paycheck, but through the satisfaction of knowing that his family will always be there to support him. Maria Bello, Craig T. Nelson, and Rosemarie DeWitt co-star in a drama from writer/director John Wells (ER).

The Company Men (DVD, 2011)
When the multi-billion dollar corporation GTX is downsized in the midst of the recession, many employees are fired, including Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck). He is a white-collar corporate ladder-climbing employee with a six-figure salary, with a wife, a teenage son and a little daughter. He gets outplacement services, but without success. He gradually loses luxuries such as his country club membership and his Porsche, and he finally has to sell his expensive house with a large mortgage, and move in with his parents. Ultimately Walker has to take a manual labor job installing drywall with his blue-collar brother-in-law, Jack Dolan (Kevin Costner). Company CEO James Salinger (Craig T. Nelson) suffers no misfortune during the trying times. His long-standing partner Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones) queries his strategy and asks whether it is still necessary to be spending money on building a new corporate headquarters, although Salinger does not want to hear it and points out that the deep cuts are necessary to increase profits and keep the company in business and stockholders satisfied. Later a senior manager, Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper), who had risen from the factory floor to the corporate offices, is also fired. When McClary demands of senior HR manager Sally Wilcox (Maria Bello) - who is also his mistress - that Woodward's firing be cancelled, she tells him that he too is being fired. Woodward's life quickly falls apart; his former colleagues abandon him, and employer after employer tells him he is too old to start a new career. At his wife's request, he goes out every morning as usual, to keep his situation secret for the neighbors, but he cannot find anything to help him with mounting bills. Frustrated and depressed, he eventually commits suicide. McClary is a wealthy man as a shareholder of the firm (his GTX stock options go up due to the downsizing), but he would like to put people to work, and feels guilty about his company ruining so many lives. Feeling the need for a change, he leaves his wife and starts his own business; Walker is the first person he hires.Read full review

We are more than what we do...thank God!!!
This movie is extremely well crafted.....the main theme is how we can loose ourselves to any one part of our life. This movie shows how driven men working for the same ship building company handle down-sizing and the re-structuring of their lives that follows. No one likes change.....we embrace comfort and run from pain. That's natural. But trials don't define us so much as show us who we are. And this movie does a solid job of showing this very statement to be true. The journey through disappointments and trials shares some similarity.....denial, minimizing, ignoring to start with. Then....something gives way. That "giving way" is character testing. While this movie is dramatic and has some dark story lines I found it refreshing and honest in what can, and often does, happens in a mans life. Parts of him get lost, other parts are artificially supported by external forces he has no control over.....and this is the most sad part of this story. Every one of these men are flawed....every one of these men have good traits. For some, they simply cannot overcome the enormity of this shared trial. Its a very real portrayal of real life. I don't like one mans continued choice of adultery as a way to "do life" but, again, this is very real in American society. I do appreciate the glimpses of "family supporting family that take place. Both the roughness of Kevin Costners character in reaching out to his suddenly unemployed brother in law and the kindness of her support for her husband (Ben Affleck) show how support and honest fellowship from others can take many forms. In the end this movie is a poignant reminder of just how little control we have of exterior forces in this world....and how dangerous it is to derive ones self from those same exterior parts of our lives. Highly recommend this movie.Read full review
