McGrath is so infatuated with his own highly telegraphed silliness that even his wildest gags feel mothballed.

He doesnt have the presence to anchor a comedy; all those jokes about Quimp the nonentity ring true, instead of funny.

Peter McDonald plays Brendan, a pleasant looking fellow who doesnt have much life force.
San Francisco Chronicle

The quality of jokes in Company Man can be divided into three categories lame, lamer and lamest.

The script, by co writers and directors Douglas McGrath and Peter Askin, is intermittently clever, but their direction is leaden and assassinates ever ..

The movie doesnt realize that giving Castro the LSD would have been much funnier, like Nixon eating the pot cookies in Dick.

Throughout, theres the absurd assumption that most of todays multiplexers will respond to jokes about the Bay of Pigs.

Unfortunately loses steam and most of its senses as it progresses, turning what could have been a charming spy caper into a mostly painful mess.
Screen It

Too often we feel that left out in the cold draft that blows over the shoulder whenever actors appear to be having more fun than the audience.
News Day

An over the top comedy that is so intentionally bad, its hilarious.

A smart comedy melding cold war paranoia and pre feminism gender roles that only intermittently succeeds is far more welcome than yet another big, lou ..

In 2001, the political satire in Company Man has about as much relevance as listening to Mort Sahl tell Eisenhower jokes.
Salon
2.5
Wit is drowned out by caricature, and the antics become laboriously over the top.
Mr Brown Movies
2.0
The movie barely makes it to feature film length before giving out its last gasp of warped comedy.
Coles Mithey

And thats just the beginning of the trite, laughless downward spiral the picture takes as its antics accelerate.
Spliced Wire
1.5
It all adds up to a few good bits spread thinly across an even thinner concept for a movie.
Boxoffice Magazine

Even an out of the concrete jungle Woody Allen can hardly liven up the pace here.

Good lines like that get buried in throwaways like, Just because youre a revolutionary, doesnt mean you have to be revolting.

Clever, quick, over the top, and filled with memorable comedic moments.

The films a jaw dropping embarrassment, making a bad movie year even worse.
Sacramento Bee

A breezy, originally plotted film... by its jitterbug tone and McGraths jittery screen presence.
Entertainment Today

With its incredible vanishing hero and its forgettable jokes, theres nothing to stick with you, nothing that sticks out enough to recommend.

One cant help but recall Bananas and long for the days when insipid wasnt taken to be inspired, and fatuous wasnt assumed to be funny.
