Company ManCOMPANY MAN follows a nerdy 1960s Connecticut high school grammar teacher Allen Quimp (Doug McGrath) as he stumbles into becoming a legendary sixties international spy hero in an effort to avoid his nagging wife (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 Castro. This satirical farce also stars John Turturro, Denis Leary, Alan Cumming, Ryan Phillippe, Heather Matarazzo and Anthony LaPaglia.
