Charlie Sheen totally redeems himself from being an uncaring, narcissistic, loser. In the end his character morphs into a sincere relationship orientated winner. As he learns his lessons, you will first abhor him, and finally admire him. Special mention must be made of the incredible casting for this movie. John Lovitz, and Rosanna Arquette shine, and their performances are truly hilarious. Creative artists may never seem the same, delivering the company mail is nothing but chuckles, and plastic surgery rules. "Good Advice" is an undiscovered film that would be perfect for mixed company. Highly recommended. - MERK
This was a good little romantic movie. It has the typical messages or themes. Many "moral to the story" moments. But, if well presented, which this movie is, I don't think people get tired of watching such predictable story lines.Movie has it all. There are depictions of greed, lust, bimbos, stupidity, ethics, romance,love. As always, this movie gives people what they want, a happy ending. You conclude that things always work out in the end, guy gets the girl, success in business if you work hard are other messages.All in all a fine movie. After watching it you do not feel like you wasted your time.WARNING: if you watch this with a chick. Be ready for some questions like "honey, what would you do in that situation." Roto
This movie was not terrible, but definitely not my favorite. I found that all the profanity and sexuality was startling. I would definitely would not recommend this for anyone under 15. Ryan Turner(Charlie Sheen) played a colorful and emotional part of a man at the end of his road. Cindy Styne(Denise Richards) played a perfect beautiful but incredibly dumb blonde in this movie. Page Hensen (Angie Harmon) was incredible at her part of the good girl that had "given up" dating until she met Turner(Sheen). All together I don't regret watching this movie.. but I have most definitely seen better.I would recommend this movie to people over the age of 15 that are looking for a romantic comedy.
Your typical romantic comedy that is predictable, but fun to watch. Ryan is a cynical stockbroker that loses his job. His girlfriend, Cindy, writes an advice column (Dear Cindy,) for a small newspaper that is rapidly losing money. Cindy has no respect for the people who write in for advice and it shows in her responses. The Editor, Page Hensen (Angie Harmon), is sinking all of her personal funds into keeping her dying newspaper alive and wants to get rid of Cindy's article.Upon hearing news of Ryan's job loss, Cindy decides to move to Brazil. Ryan, desperate to find a source of income, decides to impersonate Cindy and claims she is sick and will work from home. At first, his responses are typical crass male responses to primarily female issues, but Ryan eventually comes around and provides more thoughtful and useful advice. Soon, readership is up and Page, having an unexpected and unwanted attraction to Ryan, has to fight her better judgement on getting involved with the "attached" Ryan and her feelings for him. Ryan is funny as he skates the line between wanting to be honest with Page and wanting to maintain the newfound job that keeps him growing as an individual. Ultimately, an unexpected phenomenon to find out more about the real "Cindy" keeps Ryan on his toes. Page finally finds out about Ryan and their relationship progresses to full blown romance, only to have the real Cindy reappear to doom her to financial and professional ruin. A predictable ending leaves the movie flat, although you will be cheering for Ryan and Page anyway.Charlie Sheen and Angie Harmon provide good performances as Ryan and Page and don't overplay either part. Estelle Harris as Iris is a hoot, although the rest of the supporting case is there for filler, including Denise Richards as Cindy. Don't expect a deep story or a plot that will surprise you, but if you enjoy a funny, romantic comedy, this will surely entertain you. 8 out of 10.
