 | Before I saw this movie, I had my doubts right off. I was wondering why the reviews for this movie were so bad. I thought, "Do I really want to waste money on a movie that I won't enjoy?" But being a die hard fan of Charlie Sheen ever since I saw him as the football jock in Lucas, I took a chance. So I spent my money and here is my opinion of GOOD ADVICE.
First of all, the supporting cast is hysterical! Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette as a married couple. He plays Barry, a plastic surgeon and she is Kathy, his money hungry wife. Estelle Harris plays Iris, a sweet old lady who works at the paper. Ex Melrose Place alumn Lisa Rinna has a bit part as Veronica Simpson, the wife of newspaper mogul Donald Simpson.
The plot is very simple. We meet Ryan Turner (Sheen) who loses a successful job due to insider trading. He is to much of a risk to go work for one of his competators, so he is out of a job. Turner's girlfriend (Richards) is bored and unhappy at her job. She writes for her own advice column, "Ask Cindy." Without telling her boss, or her best friend, Cindy boards a plane to Brazil and no one except Ryan knows she's gone. In need of a paycheck, he assume's Cindy's identity and takes over her column. Ryan is also falling head over heels with Cindy's editor, Paige. (Harmon) In time, everyone is asking "Where is Cindy?" Finally, thanks to Ryan, he has turned this fading column into a popular paper. Now, Cindy returns and the sparks are about to fly! I was not disappointed at all with this movie. It was funny, sweet, romantic, sexy, and smart. With Charlie Sheen, Angie Harmon, and Denise Richards as your leads, you can't go wrong!!! |

| This movie turned out to be like a wart for me. It wasn't really wanted or asked for. But it kind of grew on me. Charlie Sheen is believable and charming as a big time Wall Street trader who loses his job, his girl (Denise Richards), and his possessions after making a huge and costly trading mistake. In the wake of being dumped by Denise Richards, Sheen finds solice in assuming the identity of Richards, who before her departure, was an advice columnist for a small time New York paper. He uses her job to pay the bills and find himself, all the while pretending to be Richards. It's a love story/comedy. It's a clean and cute film that the whole family can watch. I definitley reccommend it. Jon Lovitz and the gorgeous Angie Harmon make the cast even stronger, and even funnier. |

| This movie was both entertaining and at times, hilarious. Charlie Sheen is great as the fallen stockbroker turned advice columnist, Denise Richards is funny as his ditzy, shallow girlfriend and Angie Harmon is appealing as the editor of the newspaper. Also, Jon Lovitz is hysterical as Sheen's plastic surgeon best friend. This movie is a must for those who want some lighthearted humor. I highly recommend it.
