Review of The Company Men

This movie was supposed to have been released between October and December 2010 for Oscar consideration, no doubt,but then finally got pushed to the beginning of 2011, and limited release at that. That's too bad, really it is, while I doubt the film would have garnered Oscar nominations, it is a film worth watching and a good movie. I agree with the mostly three star out of four reviews it got from such esteemed critics as Roger Ebert, Rolling Stone, and USA Today. I would have loved to have seen more Kevin in the movie myself. He doesn't even appear in the movie until about 20 minutes in and he's only in like three or four full scenes. I grew up on Kevin Costner and it had been sad to see the career turn he has had from a top-billed, Academy Award winner to what basically amounts to a cameo of no particular significance. The "Bah-ston" accent is much better than it was in Thirteen Days, I just would have loved to have seen Costner's character more developed than it was.
