7 out of 10

This little know film is a sure fire sleeper. It stars Sheen as a New York stockbroker who's career is ruined when he follows some bad stock advice. Thus Sheen is forced to move in with his girlfriend Cindy (Richards) who is an advice columnist for a small time newspaper. Ryan then steals Cindy's job in order to keep her paychecks coming in, however his writing makes the column extremely popular. As the story builds Ryan begins to fall for Cindy's boss, Page (Harmon) who is the owner of the newspaper. Of course Ryan's scam falls out from under him when Cindy returns. The ending is surprising and the film ends on an a good note. This film is full of hilarious moments, especially when Ryan and Page go out on a business date and see a performance artist. The acting by Sheen, Lovitz, Arquette and Harmon is very good. Also Angie Harmon is about the best looking woman I've ever seen in my life in this movie. There is no doubt she is one the most gorgeous women on earth.

Not bad, but altogether lame and forgettable

"Good Advice" is one of those amiable romantic comedies that won't make you want to cringe, but it just doesn't leave a lasting impression. It's fairly entertaining, there's some good laughs, the acting is good, but it doesn't quite make it past the "OK" mark. There's only one distasteful scene involving a so-called artiste squirting paint out his rear end and a running gag involving butt cheek implants, but other than that the movie is done in good taste. Charlie Sheen is always fun to watch, Denise Richards is hot and Angie Harmon is even hotter. Even Estelle Harris (George Costanza's Mom on "Seinfeld") has a nice little supporting role. I'm pretty sure this didn't get released to theaters. I can see why. It looks like the type of flick that would go straight to video. As a matter of fact, for straight-to-video standards it's pretty decent. But for regular standards, it's only halfway decent. The actors give it their all, but the writing could've been a lot sharper. The premise is original and with talented writers, this could've come close to reaching its comic potential. My score: 5 (out of 10)
