      adam b A decent comedy drama that had enough material to warrant it a good watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Your Mum Might Like It. It's Definitely No Comedy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Critics can hate all they want. My advice -- watch it! Personally, I really enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent rom-com from the 'warlock of mars'. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe I actually watched the whole thing. Denise Richards and Angie Harmon made it so it wasn't a total disaster. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
