Company man
Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities
Movie propaganda
International intelligence just got dumber.
Company man follows a nerdy 1960s Connecticut high school grammar teacher Allen Quimp (Doug McGrath) as he stumbles into becoming a legendary 60s international spy hero in an effort to avoid his nagging wife Daisy (Sigourney Weaver). With total and blissful incompetence, Quimp is one part Inspector Clouseau, one part Mr Bean and no parts James Bond. His misadventures somehow contribute to his meteoric rise in the CIA and ultimately send him to Cuba where he's involved in a plot to overthrow Fidel Castro (Anthony LaPaglia).

Theatrical report
Company man has a big cast and it plays out like a play. Each lead actor gets their grand entrance and some spotlight time before the main character draws them into the plot. Sigourney Weaver is very "Me! Me! Me!" John Randolph Jones gets stuck playing another weird guy but Anthony LaPaglia plays Fidel like a well-trained prostitute: part of the wacky fantasy world but always maintaining that professional distance.
If you're alert you might even see an explanation for the Bay of Pigs!
