Synopsis: A sports magazine executive in his 50s has to work under a guy half his age after his company is bought by a conglomerate.
Appraisal: This film does a reasonable job in portraying work life in these days of globalization and corporate capitalism. There is enough empathy with the main characters, too.
It does, however, exaggerate in some points. For example, the grotesque cheering for the owner of the company is a little unbelievable. Of course in real life things happen in a more disguised manner.
Also, the subplot of the relationship between Carter and Alex is poorly developed and its depiction is extremely prudish (not one sex scene!); furthermore it has an unconvincing resolution.
