This is currently (ie: yesterday) listed on IMDB as "Synergy", but I think the new title is better (shock! Gasp! Take that titlers of Twisted and The Big Picture!). Synergy just provokes too much clicheity. Yes, I made up a word. Anyway... I saw this movie in a free screening last night, and it was better than I expected. The plot is that Dennis Quaid is a 51 year old husband and father who has been the head of Ad Sales at a sports magazine for, like, ever. When his company is bought out by a global corporation, he's demoted and a 26 year old with no experience (Topher Grace) becomes his boss. Hilarity ensues (no, really). Scarlett Johannson plays Quaid's college-age daughter, who secretly begins dating Topher's character, and Marg CSI-Star-who's-last-name-I-can't-spell-and-I'm-too-lazy-to-look-it-up plays Quaid's wife. If you liked Office Space, or if you work in the corporate environment, you'll probably enjoy this movie. So look forward to it! I'll do a full length review closer to release date - not that I know when that is yet! At the very least, it gave me the opportunity to notice the fact that Quaid's character is Dan Foreman, and Topher's character on That 70's Show is Eric Foreman. And also the opportunity to say "I love...cake?" (70's show reference).

I'll do a full length review closer to release date - not that I know when that is yet! I love Office Space, so I'll keep my eyes open for this one. It opens in limited release on December 29, and then in wide release on January 14.
