Good Advice

Review by James Anthony

If you are in the mood for a bit of a cheery comedy romance then you could do much worse than Good Advice, which stars Charlie Sheen, Angie Harmon and Denise Richards.

Sheen plays Ryan, a shallow womanizing stockbroker who's lifestyle collapses when he loses all his money.

 

Unfortunately for him, his girlfriend Cindy (Richards) is even less deep than he is and she drops him like a hot potato, quits her job and heads off to Brazil with some Latin lover.

Desperate for cash Ryan decides to hijack his ex's Dear Cindy column in a small newspaper owned by (Angie Harmon) and despite some very funny replies doesn't make a very big impression as a sensitive guy.

Mind you, with a lot of help from his mate Jon Lovitz, Ryan somehow manages to get in touch with his sensitive inner self and soon has New York scrambling to buy the paper in order to get his words of wisdom.

Throw in a devious businessman, falling in love with the boss, the return of Cindy as well as revenge and Good Advice offers a lot of fun.

It's not deep, but it is enjoyable.

Sheen is terrific as Ryan, Harmon utterly exquisite as the boss and Richards is bordering on loathsome as the bubblehead. Add Jon Lovitz, Rosanna Arquette and the scene-stealing Estelle Harris to the cast and you have a mix of talents that delights in the mayhem.

Conclusion: 80% Extras 60%
