Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In the Company of Men is a cult 1990s independent black comedy/drama film written and directed by Neil LaBute and starring Aaron Eckhart and Matt Molloy.It tells the story of two Jerkass co-workers, Chad (Eckhart) and Howard (Molloy), who have recently been dumped by their respective girlfriend and fiancée, seeking revenge against the female gender. So Chad cooks up a scheme that involves going out with and baiting an insecure young deaf coworker named Christine (Stacy Edwards), then breaking up with her and emotionally destroying her. Noted for its extremely realistic and casual portrayal of misogyny and its dark character study, the film received good reviews and won the Filmmakers Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: Not only does Chad emotionally cripple poor Christine as per the original plan, but he also destroys his "friend's" life as an added bonus and he is the only character who makes it out of the film content and happy. | |

For the Evulz: Chad's reason for screwing up both Howard and Christine was his own sadistic pleasure. | |

Armor-Piercing Slap: Subverted - Christine slaps Chad when he tells her what's really going on, but he remains entirely unfazed. | |
