Not bad at all from where I stand, but it definitely wasn't anything great. Just a feel-good movie about a sociopath of a spiritual writer who finally lets people into his life and heart. It's definitely cliched and unlikely, but I didn't hate it. Most of the actors starring in i...( read more)
I like the cast but the plot didn't blow me away since it's not as original as it thinks. The whole time watching, I was thinking of As Good as it Gets. I mean, in both films you have a self-centered jerk that doesn't like people who finds himself with a friend (Lou Taylor Pucci)...( read more)
Good movie. The Answer Man is about a reclusive author of spiritual books, who is pursued for advice by a single mother and a man fresh out of rehab. I liked the story. I found the script intelligent, with likeable characters and enjoyable R-rated dialogue. I like seeing Jeff Dan...( read more)
really liked this film, lauren is always amazing, but lou taylor pucci stood out by miles in this film :)
Half-cute romantic-dark-comedy. The concept of the main character's book is interesting, although it plays out in ways that are rightfully challenging to the premise. It doesn't add up to a great movie, but it was an okay viewing.
Questo film me lo ricorderò per sempre perché è con questo che ho iniziato a guardare i film in lingua originale con i sottotitoli INGLESI =D *momento di fierezza*
Carino e piacevole, comunque.
A warm and entertaining film. The entire cast is terrific, the two leads are great and give deep and real performances. It?s not predictable for the most part and I was never bored. Unusual and well done.
How much more interesting is a film like (500) Days of Summer, which is about the complexities of life, in comparison with this one, which cheerfully cycles through the cliches. full review
The Answer Man is a perfect example of an Intelligent Bad Movie, easy to take, promising along the way ... And then things start to go wrong. full review
Answer Man is a pleasant and enjoyable film, easy to go down, and often wrong about details: perfect for network TV. full review
I could see the sparks flying, but they were being generated by my back teeth. full review
The implausible Answer Man offers little clarity but plenty of far-fetched scenarios and credibility-defying coincidences. full review
Never shows enough passion to be interestingly bad. full review
A dreary tale spun out of bland cliches and so many coincidences that one begins to believe its titular guru perhaps does have a direct line to the Almighty. full review
For those seeking smart, sharp, witty, indie filmmaking here's your answer. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Answer Man (Arlen Faber)" !
