Product Description:
When the ceo of nabisco decides to buy out the shareholders and take over the company no one is prepared for what hits the fan in this comedy about big business and big bucks. Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: James Garner Joanna Cassidy Run time: 107 minutes Rating: R Director: Glenn Jordan
Amazon.com:
This HBO original comedy, adapted by Larry Gelbart (Tootsie) from the book by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, concerns one of the most compelling tales of corporate buyout madness in the go-go 1980s. James Garner plays F. Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco. Following failed and expensive efforts to sell a smokeless cigarette to the public, Johnson decides that he's had enough of navigating around the wrath of the company's stockholders. Drawing up plans to buy RJR Nabisco outright, he soon finds himself outmatched (though still determined) in a race for the prize with takeover king Henry Kravis (Jonathan Pryce). The ensuing battle is both bitterly funny and full of acid-tinged insights into the '80s greed that changed corporate America forever. Besides Gelbart's great script and Glenn Jordan's competent direction, the star of this exciting film is Garner, who is absolutely wonderful as the gracious Johnson. --Tom Keogh

Larry Gelbart wrote the hilarious screenplay adaptation of Bryan Burrough and John Helyar's book, BARBARIANS AT THE GATE, the essentially true story of F. Ross Johnson, CEO of R.J.R. Nabisco, and his 1980's attempt to buy out the shareholders of that company.
James Garner stars as the wheeling-dealing Johnson, while Jonathan Pryce is cast as ... Read More

Barbarians At The Gate focuses more on the personalities and egos that drove the stunning LBO of RJRNabisco. James Garner plays a role you rarely see him in, along with a terrific complement of seasoned actors illustrating the ego clashes and senseless competitiveness that typified the LBO scene of the times. Well paced, with a mix of a dramatic percussion-driven soundtrack with an almost light-hearted unique whistling soundtrack at telling moments, this movie holds your attention from the very beginning. ...

This was my thought process.
1)I love Barbarians at the Gate(the book), I love it so much that I'm going to buy the movie.
2)Wow this movie sucks. I must be maturing because for the first time in my life I can safely say that "the book is so much better than the movie."
3)Whatever I'm just going to watch it all the way through, maybe it'll get good.
4)Damn I'm out 10 bucks, it never got close to good.
Its dirt cheap, and if you must buy it and see how bad it really is. ... Read More

Good film : Garner gives a remarkably convincing performance.
Screenplay is well structured and pungently critical of the corporate strategies displayed by all those drawn into the levered buyout game and gamble.

This movie, based on a true story, chronicles the sale of RJR Nabisco during an era when Mergers and Acquisitions were at an all time high. James Garner, in a brilliant performance, plays F. Ross Johnson, the CEO of RJR Nabisco who wants to take Nabisco private and be its majority owner.
The movie does a nice job explaining the financial aspects of a LBO(Leveraged Buyout) on such a basic level that anyone can understand. Throughout the film the storyline flows quickly, although at times certain ... Read More
