He just can't lose- until he gets a bum stock tip and suddenly his world comes crashing down. Out of a job and knowing a thing or two about women Ryan secretly writes his (now) ex-girlfriend Cindy's (Denise Richards) advice column Ask Cindy- with disastrous results. On the verge of getting fired by the newspaper editor Page (Angie Harmon) Turner turns to his plastic surgeon buddy Barry (Jon Lovitz) for help. Once a boorish insensitive guy he transforms the column and himself into a winner of hearts and minds- including his ex-girlfriends editor Page. A delightful romp you'll love this romantic comedy of identity.System Requirements: Runnig Time 93 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 012236122371 Manufacturer No: 12237

Fans of Denise Richards will delight in her skin-tight and belly-revealing outfits in Good Advice; fans of Charlie Sheen will enjoy his patented sleazeball-with-a-heart-of-gold performance. Richards is the author of a much-ignored advice column who's trying to drag her hotshot stockbroker boyfriend (Sheen) to the altar. When a phony tip ruins Sheen's career, Richards leaves for Brazil with the owner of a diamond mine. When the publisher of the newspaper that runs the advice column calls, Sheen grabs at the chance for a paycheck and writes for Richards. Unsurprisingly, masquerading as a woman saves his shallow male soul and his witty but insightful comments turn the column into a big hit. All seems to be going well until Richards suddenly returns and finds herself famous. Angie Harmon plays the publisher with whom--unsurprisingly--sparks fly. Jon Lovitz, Rosanna Arquette, and Estelle Harris provide helpful support. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - A Nice, 'Feel Good" Movie
I saw this on the TV awhile ago and liked it so well I bought the DVD.
This is not Shakespeare but....I found it quite entertaining and funny. Charlie Sheen does a nice job, as does Angie Harmon and the rest of the cast, which includes a nice comedic turn by Estelle Harris, aka George's mom.
Sheen plays a greed driven stock broker, who is a bit of a sexist pig as well. He then finds his inner feminine side, and finds love with Angie Harmon (aided greatly by Harris), as he ... Read More
Rating:  - predictable and dumb
predictable, and Roseanna Arquette is TERRIBLE in this. She was great in "Desperately Seeking Susan." Her fake NY accent here sucked.
Rating:  - Light romantic comedy
In three words, this is a light romantic comedy.
But it is charming and funny!
Great job by Daniel Margosis and Robert Horn.
Rating: - Worthy of 5 Stars, enjoyable as light fare
Saw this on TV last night for the 3rd time. Time to buy it for my library. Bright, lively, comedic, wrapped around a feel good love story. Angie Harmon and Charlie Sheen make a good couple. Support actors are good. I think I enjoy it most for its lightness, not a deep dark thread to follow. Kind of movie you can pop in the VCR every few months or so and still enjoy the light fare over again. My good advice is to enjoy "Good Advice".
Rating:  - Mildly entertaining
In this 2001 romantic comedy, an insensitive self-help columnist becomes famous when her out-of-work boyfriend starts writing her column for her. It's a promising setup, but falls short of it's potential. Unlike "Just Write", a starless film with a hokey set piece that somehow becomes more than the sum of its parts, "Good Advice" fails to convince. Charlie Sheen is handsome as boyfriend Ryan Turner, but although he's brought low in the setup, the defeat he suffers is shallow, entirely not his own fault. ... Read More
