Just what I expected
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Good Advice is the sort of movie you can see over and over and over. I know I do. It's easy on the eye, charming, slightly insightful, positive, and entertaining.Charlie Sheen's acting is a bit pinched, though, but it's still good. Most character are a bit over played, but in line with the comedic tone of the film. I love Angie Harmon's character, I find it so cute and charming, in lots of little ways, but I suspect she might be at the edge of what she can do. Still, can't help rooting for her.The advice column itself is quite insightful, and well written. If a columnist could write with such a voice, it would be popular indeed.See it whenever you want to be lightly entertained and see a cute relationship.
Loved the movie: There's a lot to like - Snappy dialogue, genuine laughs, a bit of pathos and generally warm bubble-gum feel to it. Plus, of course, Sheen and Harmon (who looks good enough to eat) - who work well together and have good on-screen chemistry ; Lovitz and Peters - always good value; Richards and Arquette - who I normally don't like, but who do surprisingly well here; and a deliciously slimy Barry Newman. It's not Oscar-nomination stuff, but it is a very enjoyable way for canoodling couples to spend an hour and a half with a bottle of wine or a bag of popcorn.Hate the message: Shallow insider trader gets caught, fired, cuckolded, and eventually finds himself and his true love though being an agony aunt, only to get revenge and 1.5 mil with what? Yup, you guessed it: an insider trade. Money wins, and they all live happily ever after. God bless America.In 'Trading Places' it made sense. Here, I thought they could have done better.
Good Advice is built on sexist and ageist stereotypes. The attempts at humour could only have been more obvious if accompanied by canned laughter. The jokes are cringe-worthy to the point where it is embarrassing to hear. The dialogue is at best predictable and clichéd. The "story" is syrupy, unbelievable and littered with plot-holes large enough to drive a truck through.This film is obviously aimed at an immature, naive audience -- the only group that would be able to enjoy it. Avoid this garbage at all cost if you have any taste whatsoever. It isn't worth gambling the 93 precious minutes of your life that would confirm my opinion.
I loved this film and thought it was absolutely hilarious! The comedy is well directed and the love affair between Angie Harmon(Page Henson) and Charlie Sheen(Ryan Turner) is unexpected and comes as a surprise. Denise Richards is at good at being bitchy and is hilarous as the money hungry bimbo. The script is smart and the supporting actors (Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette) give the film a good touch. I would definately recommend it!
