Company Man is a 2000 comedy film starring a beret wearing
Woody Allen.
In the 1960s, Alan Quimp is a schoolteacher of English
grammar and married with the very demanding woman Daisy Quimp. In order to
avoid the constant mockery in Daisy's family, Alan says that he is a secret CIA
agent. Daisy tells everybody, the CIA acknowledges the lie, but due to a
coincidence, Alan has just helped and hidden the professional Russian dancer
Petrov who wanted to leave Russia. The CIA decides to hire Alan as an agent, to
get the credits of bringing Petrov to USA, and immediately decides to send him
to a very calm place, Cuba.
The film grossed a very poor $146,193 on a $16 million
budget. Company Man received generally negative reviews, currently holding a
14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states: "A flat and
misconceived movie with big stars."
