The Company (2003)

Purely Joyful Movie!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Let me start this review by saying, I enjoy ballet so my review of this film isn't coming from the stance of someone who "just doesn't get ballet." It's coming strictly from the stance of a viewer watching a movie and this movie...sucked! Yes, there was some beautiful dancing in it, that was the best part of the movie...but it was supposed to be about a promising dancer unsure of whether or not she could withstand the pressure...where was that story? I saw none of that story at all. I really saw NO character development at all and that takes a promising movie involving ballet to a boring movie with no plot whatsoever.Unless you strictly want to watch some beautiful ballet, don't bother watching this movie.

hi this the first time i wrote any thing in IMDb but i couldn't help myself i want to warn people about this movieif you are thinking about watching this movie believe me just don'tthe acting was awful no dialogs it is like they forgot to write the script the story also awful there is no point of the movie it is not even a movie it was veryboring no dialogs no acting nothing i really mean it nothing what a Waste of timejust believe me don't watch this thingif it was up to me i would rate this thing under zero

I want to try and keep this quick.I danced ballet for many years and even I did not enjoy this film. Yes, there were a few good dance sequences, but honestly, they were few and far between. And many of them relied on fancy circus-like props and costumes. The final dance performance and climax of the movie was ridiculous and disappointing; it was almost as if the movie was making fun of itself by the time it ended - not good! The music was uninspiring.Not to mention a complete lack of plot and writing in "The Company". I didn't care about a single character in this film.Even fluff like "Center Stage" was much more enjoyable and fundamentally truer to the heart of traditional ballet and its inner workings than "The Company".Very disappointing.

Without a doubt, this is the worst movie I've ever seen. I was busing across central Mexico in hot pursuit of uniformed Mexican schoolgirls and the escaped Boris Yeltsin and was forced to watch this awful movie. My traveling companion, Carlos Caliente, who is an avid fan of the ballet and tights in general, expressed his disgust early on in this movie, noting its lack of character development, plot, Neve Campbell's exposed melons, and overall shittyness. After the ridiculous final Olmec-head-eating-dancers scene we thought the pain was over. To our horror, the movie was replayed again! Blast! I would have rather ridden a chicken bus to Hell than be damned to such a fate as seeing the Company twice in one sitting. My suggestion to you, amigos, is 1) promptly punch in the face anyone you ever meet who even remotely liked this film, 2) never take anything but the first class executive bus, and 3) always buy your bras and panties from large piles in the streets of Mexico, D.F. BORIS, I WILL FIND YOU YET!!!
