Memorable, crazy movie

hyped garbage

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Wow, this movie was absolutely rubbish. It is listed as a comedy, yet there was nothing funny about it. And the story just never caught on, director Dan Cohen threw the bait out there alright, but nothing took hold. And in fact, it was a struggle to keep watching this movie.I made it 32 minutes into this boring snoozefest before my interest in the movie fully dissipated and I just simply gave up. I stopped the DVD and went on to another movie instead.From what I managed to see, this movie is about married man Ted (played by Breckin Meyer) who is promoted and finds a new world full of temptation and beautiful women that comes along with the promotion.It was as if even the acting talents in the movie weren't even committed to the story and the movie as well, and that did push the movie downward.All in all, "Corporate Affairs" was unfathomably boring and uninteresting. As such, it scores a meager two out of ten stars only from me.

I am writing this as I am watching this halfway through. I really do not know if I find the power to finish this, but even If I do not no harm done. The film is flooded with clichés, beyond belief. The actors do not appear to believe a line they speak, the result is almost a parody. The movie is about a programmer being promoted to manager and not being able to cope with it. But the whole storyline is so fictional that none of the stuff it narrates would happen in real life of a programmer aspiring to become a manager. And yes, I am a professional programmer. Its a real shame because some actors are decent in other films they have appeared.PS. My girlfriend just ejected the DVD before seeing the end. No harm done whatsoever.

''Corporate Affairs'' (''Ted's MBA'') 4 ½ (of 5 stars)Dan Cohen, whose ''Diamond Men'' was a Cinematique hit, again upends the world of commerce in ''Corporate Affairs.''Breckin Meyer plays Ted, who's promoted beyond his dreams, and certainly beyond his training or experience. But he's a quick thinker who solves corporate glitches as fast as his inept colleagues can create them around him. His computer work requires extensive travel, which leads to on-the-road trysts, unbeknownst to his wife. The software he's servicing is a house of cards. So is his personal life. Each time they start to tumble down, he reshuffles and emerges the victor. But how long can he juggle all of these conflicts without imploding? Writer/director Cohen masters sarcastic wit just as Ted earns his master's on the road to oblivion.-- Film Critic Jeff Farance

Seriously this movie had no redeemable qualities other than a few gratuitous sex scenes. The story was flat and uninteresting. The production quality was terrible. The musical score was absolute garbage. The characters were terrible. Do yourself a favour and watch Gigli instead as it's probably more interesting than this movie. You can probably watch the whole movie in 20 minutes by hitting the fast forward button and still not miss anything. It's the story about a guy who gets a promotion to VP and plunges into a world of infidelity - sleeping with women in every city he travels too. It's about as exciting as watching paint dry really.
