The movie is rather slow paced but Mathew Perry's performance is over the top as usual. Even if you are driven to feel the desperation of the main character, a few laughs here and there are likely to happen. And the romantic story within the movie is also very cute.
Overall, it isn't a masterpice but if you are a Mathew Perry fan like I am then you will like this movie. -
MCT:June 27, 2008Few movies have I considered actually not finishing, but this was definitely one of them. Most of the time I was just plain bored, and almost fell asleep a few times. I didn't find anything particularly moving or endearing, and Matthew Perry's narration was both irritating and corny. They certainly nailed the depression part, but without the comedy to level it out, the whole movie was just one long unenjoyable experience.

MCT:June 23, 2008I really want to see this to see how Matthew Perry copes in a different role from his famous Chandler Bing.

MCT:June 16, 2008Great movie! Hilarious. Interesting story plot. Matthew Perry's fantastic in this one. This is definitely beyond any sort of roles he has taken on. A must-see! Great music.

MCT:May 30, 2008Its an unusual Matt Perry film and being that I was expecting exactly that I loved it! Goldberg is able to depict the mental state of mind brilliantly and it is reflected in the plot! I'm starting to think that Perry likes to play screenwriters!

Matthew Perry plays Hudson, a screen writer with DPD. As his drifts through life he is aware of the difference between himself and every other human being. While eating a meal with his writing partner Tom (Kevin Pollak) he picks up a fork and tells him that if he stabbed him in the eye with the fork he would not feel a thing. Hudson has no sense of danger. He is able to take his hands off the wheel of his car unaffected by the potential for a lethal accident, well in his sleep anyways. Above all else Hudson wants to be normal. He tries psychiatric therapy to no avail. The first doctor places him on medication that leaves him semi-conscious. He tries another doctor, Cheryl Blaine (Mary Steenburgen) she falls obsessively in love with him. He has a mental disorder but she is out right crazy. Things come to a head when Hudson meets a young woman, Sarah (Lynn Collins). He becomes aware of an attraction for her but is unable to demonstrate it. She understands and is supportive which makes Hudson even more concerned with getting better. Matthew Perry is absolutely perfect for this role. Not only does he play Hudson as a person unable to feel he transforms he body as well. There is a flat, deadness to his eyes that is amazing to watch. He moves in a deliberate fashion unaffected by his surroundings. His innate comic timing is suppressed but he still has Hudson come across as an intelligent even witty person. There's little doubt that Numb stands out as a refreshingly innovative spin on a contemporary romantic comedy, as writer/director Harris Goldberg infuses the film's primary relationship with a distinctly authentic vibe - something that stems primarily from Perry and Collins' undeniably charismatic work as the central characters. Highly recommaned this movie.

A drama movie with Matthew Perry (friends) in a more serious role. Its a quite slow movie altho with a fair story and great acting along with some romance.

The quality of this film really surprised me. It's a sweet film that really touches you. I feel this was completely down the, lets face it, excellent performance from Matthew Perry. He really surprised me. I didn't think he was capable of pulling off a role like this. There was such depth to his character and he really made the performance his own. By the end of the film it was hard to imagine the character being played by anyone else. The plot was simple and although it is classed as a romantic comedy, I really feel that that paints the wrong picture of this film. Although it does have funny moments I wouldn't call it a comedy at all. More of a psychological drama. You see Perry's character become more and more unhinged as he desperately tries to keep his life together. His performance really is what makes the film and it is definatly worth checking out purely for his performance.

Not so much a romantic comedy and a romantic drama , with a few minutes of humor, or comedy noir but I still liked it...

its a good enuff watch. the movie had a few moments. i personally liked it cuz i dont no..i was probably in a similar farme of mind or phase when i saw it.. but still it wouldve been a whole lot better with better script and direction. still the movie manages to make one feel better at the end of it all so i guess it works out ok :D

A truly touching story with a great performance by matthew Perry.
At times it can be a little slow, but the story is something that is deeply developed.
As long as you go in expecting a drama with a few minor laughs as opposed to a comedy, you'll be fine.
