Newsweek
A smooth mixture of satire and sentiment that owes an obvious debt to "The Apartment," not to mention "Jerry Maguire." - 80
Los Angeles Times
Genial, generous-spirited and unmistakably entertaining. - 75
USA Today
Gives Dennis Quaid one of his best screen showcases. - 75
New York Daily News
An amusing and unusually compassionate look at today's corporate culture. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Weitz gives all his actors room to shine. - 70
Variety
An often lively comedy-drama that lands some nice jabs at the mega-corp ethos, In Good Company makes for pretty good company until going soft when it counts. - 70
The New York Times
In Good Company lacks both the emotional sting and the bright pop-culture snap of "About a Boy," as well as Mr. Hornby's carefully cultivated irony, but it makes for an agreeable solo directing debut. - 60
Village Voice
The scenario is stale but the actors are faultless.
