Remake Needed

Sometimes I get it wrong too. I figured In Good Company, the Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, and Scarlett Johansen vehicle would be good. It was okay. Not great, could've been great. Good premise just poor casting and really bad soundtrack work. Topher Grace was not very good in his part and Scarlett Johansen was actually boring. Sadly their characters needed a lift. Looking back you have to wonder how Josh Hartnett and Kirsten Dunst would have done. Their chemistry was electric in the Virgin Suicides, and would be interesting to see five years later what it would be like. Dennis Quaid though was pitch perfect. Just a great role, and performance. I sat their wondering how great it must be to know Dennis Quaid as I watched this, and how stupid Meg Ryan really is. Quaid seems like a cool guy, and you know he could help you score with chicks, if scoring with chicks is something you're into.

About the soundtrack, ugh. Why jam songs all over the emotional points of the song. I was not emotionally charged by the songs so they didn't work. But it was a good story and needs to be told better.
