Dennis Quaid wears an unidentified watch

Dennis Quaid plays Dan Foreman in In Good Company, a veteran advertising sales executive who gets demoted when a corporate takeover puts a 26-year-old in charge of his department. Paul Weitz directed this 2004 comedy-drama, his follow-up to About a Boy, and it shares that film's interest in men at different life stages figuring out what maturity actually means. Quaid's Dan has done everything right by conventional standards: good job, nice house, loyal wife, daughter heading to college. Then the company gets bought, his new boss is younger than his kid, and that boss starts dating his daughter. Topher Grace plays Carter, the young executive who is both Dan's nemesis and his unlikely protégé, while Scarlett Johansson plays the daughter caught between them. The film is gentler than its setup suggests, more interested in how these men learn from each other than in workplace comedy clichés. Quaid plays Dan as someone trying to hold onto dignity while everything around him changes, and the performance grounds what could have been a sitcom premise. His watch has not been identified.
