The Company Men

On Tuesday, February 15, 2011, I went to see the movie The Company Men featuring Ben Affleck, Kevin Cosner, Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper.

The story is about a company, who had to downsize after the economic crisis. This movie follows the story of a few of the men from this company, who had high paying positions, in their quest to find a new job. Some found new jobs, some did other things... A very well acted movie. I enjoyed every minute of it.

The story line also makes me feel my own situation right now. I might be moved out of the position for the teacher whom I was replacing on the broken ankle after 32 days in the same position. All because of an incident involving three students that happened to occur in my last period class with a difficult group on Monday, Valentine's Day after they have eaten tons of sugar and chocolates all day.
