merklekranz 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

i-brix I bought the DVD at the local video store and nearly passed it up: after all, there are never any good movies in the sales section, are there? Well, this one definitely is good. The Story: Ryan is a Wall Street Broker and a real big asshole (as his friend states: "huge would be an understatement"). But after losing his job and his girlfriend leaving him for a richer guy, he has to pay the rent somehow. And the only job he can lay his hands on is writing his girlfriend's "Ask Cindy"-column. And after dropping all his machismo the column even turns out successful.... (But before the end of course he still has to get his revenge for losing his job and also to get a new girlfriend. Wouldn't be a comedy otherwise, would it?) While not the very best of movies, it is very and funny and also has a few memorable quotes. I personally liked the way the camera followed Ryan's butt several times which was quite refreshing to all the times a camera drops down a woman's neckline (even though my husband pointed out the camera did follow Page every time she leaned forward to get up from her chair).For me, the movie was actually rather hurtful: I like to clap my hands or slap my knees at scenes which I really like. And after the movie, my hands hurt!

Phil Carmody (FatPhil) An amusing little romp. Spoilt by a few absurd characters, perhaps (the Shermans, Iris, and Styne) Sheen the younger keeps the film away from just zaniness. Given that Sheen's normally into zanier roles, this is a suprising one for him, and he pulls it off perfectly, he certainly went up in my estimations as an actor after seeing this.The film as a whole? schlock romance - you'll probably love it (I didn't so much) corny sexual references - you'll laugh (I groaned) bad guy gets stung happy ending - not as well done as trading places, for example.Don't expect wonders, and you'll not be disappointed. A fun Saturday night movie.

Stu Chandler (chanelit-1) I'm not a massive fan of romantic comedies, but am a big fan of Angie Harmon, so decided to take the plunge and see this movie anyway.What a pleasant surprise! I find myself really enjoying the film, with some excellent performances, from Angie as a tough but fair Newspaper editor to Charlie Sheen as an ex-stockbroker womaniser who is forced to face his sensitive side in order that he keeps writing a newspaper column.I won't give much away, but this is definitely one to check out - very amusing, well made and a perfect antidote to the usual horror and action that I watch.
