RENT this film!!!! "The Company Men" 5 out of 5 *****

Marta and I just finished wathing this. This film hits on everything that is going wrong with companies and jobs in the USA.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172991/

The story centers on a year in the life of three men trying to survive a round of corporate downsizing at a major company - and how that affects them, their families, and their communities.

Trailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3740599833/

When the GTX Corporation must cut jobs to improve the company's balance sheet during the 2010 recession, thousands of employees will take the hit, like Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck). Bobby learns the real life consequences of not having a job. Not only does he see a change to his family lifestyle, and the loss of his home, but also his feelings of self-worth. Written by Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

6. We'll check it out.
It's certainly got a hell of a cast. I think that Maria Bello is an underappreciated actress.

PEACE!
