Watch Shrink For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

To me, this movie is perfection.

hyped garbage

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

If Kevin Spacey, who has Tried it All, decided to just Get Baked and Play the Shrink completely Stoned, this is what it would Look Like. This is a Great Actor getting Toasted and and then Saying...Action.It is a Movie that Tries way too Hard to be Quirky (a ready to give birth surrogate woman having sex). The Caricatures are all a bit Off Beat by Script Design and None except the OCD Producer come Alive Enough to be Interesting, and adding Robin Williams Playing Robin Williams has a Few Zingers, but that's about it.Spacey's Shrink showing up on TV and coming Unglued is Embarrassingly Bad Writing and Movie Making. The Wrap-Up is completely Contrived and the Hollywood Unmasking is a been there done that Bore. Nothing here Rises Above Average and the Movie looks like a Poser. Nothing New, Nothing that Interesting, and Watching Rich, Depressed People is a Hard Sell and this one is Not worth Much.

I just caught this quirky movie on Netflix. Yet another exploration of the ennui that surrounds celebrity status, this is a great little gem that showcases Spacey's talents well. It came very close to being great, but stopped short, I suspect because of bad decisions in direction and editing. Characters were brought in (Robin Williams being one) for side stories which never quite connected to the main plot. Pot addiction is shown as a series of untimely naps, which is not realistic. The audience never gets a glimpse into the main character's despair, or the circumstances surrounding his wife's death. A love interest is developed and then never followed through. Characters walk in and out of the story without strong reasons. The ending is trite, as if they just needed to wrap it up. Too many loose ends, and a waste of some good talent. Nonetheless, because of Spacey (and a nod to the well-developed friendship with his drug dealer, that was fun to watch) I hung in there happily right to the end.

Saw this via Netflix streaming video.Kevin Spacey is PhD psychologist Henry Carter, with a practice in Los Angeles. He sees not only local "stars", he also sees the ordinary guys. But Henry has a problem, since his wife's death he isn't really present, emotionally, and has resorted to a slovenly life and smoking lots of pot every chance he gets. The story is about Henry, and how he might get his mojo back, but also about an assorted cast of characters, all connected to Henry through his practice. And then, some of them interconnected with each other, although few of them know each other as the movie begins. One is teenager Keke Palmer as high school student Jemma. She is bright but completely unmotivated by school. One time we see her actually get up and leave class, over the objections of her teacher. Where does she go? To the theater, to watch movies, that is what she wants to do, make movies. Henry sees her pro bono. They have positive influences on each other.Another is Saffron Burrows as Kate Amberson, she and her partner attend sessions with Henry, but it soon becomes clear that her partner is a jerk, and it is a matter of time before she is free to eventually pursue something with Henry and help him out of his funk. Another is Pell James as Daisy, pregnant and working for a movie producer. But the baby isn't hers. it is her sister's, she is just carrying it for her. As she says, "She provided the egg, I provide the oven." But she too really wants to get out on her own to produce movies. I enjoyed it for the characters, there is nothing novel about any of the stories, but they are presented in an interesting way.

I love Kevin Spacey and believe he is more talented than just an actor. He has done his job for this movie and I wouldn't finish watching the movie if it wasn't for him. This movie has no script that pulls the attention of the viewer. It's just a compressed version of an ordinary TV series. This girl assigned for that shrink by the school, shrinks patient is a movie producer and his friend is a broke writer and they all find themselves interconnected throughout the movie.. What is this crap? Please be more creative, I would give a D grade if this script was handed in to me for screen writing class. Please do not shoot movies just because the right actors are hired. Read the script and get objective criticism first..
