Brief synopsis of Good Advice

Reformed bad boy actor Charlie Sheen shines in this winning romantic comedy that plays with ideas of gender difference. Sheen plays a suave stockbroker named Ryan Turner, who loses his job suddenly due to one very bad decision. Unemployed and bored, Turner secretly begins to write his ex-girlfriend's (the lovely Denise Richards) popular advice column. Though crass and insensitive at first, Ryan slowly begins to empathize with the women writing into the column. His new sensitivity not only wins him a new job, but also the heart of the gorgeous newspaper publisher (Angie Harmon).

Rating of 3 stars out of 5 Radio Times

This good-natured romantic comedy stars Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards, Angie Harmon, Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette. When high flying stockbroker Ryan Turner (Sheen) disgraces himself professionally, he loses his job, reputation and his girlfriend (Richards), who is a less than successful agony aunt. Desperate for money, Sheen decides to keep Richards's departure a secret and poses as the woman and ghost-writes her local newspaper column. But complications arise when the mysteriously invigorated advice page becomes a nationwide sensation and the media starts to demand information about its writer's identity.

I really enjoyed this movie. Romantic comedy with several twists that keep it alive. I lauched so loudly at times, the family complained saying they were glad they weren't in a cinema with me!

to be honest i only put this movie in my selection because it had denise richards in it but i was pleasently suprised. theres enough laughs to keep you watching and although it uses a tried and tested formula( arrogant man, realises hes a jerk....bla bla bla ), its definatly worth a watch.oh yea and then theres denise richards.

As someone who isn't really a fan of rom-coms, i was actually pleasently surprised. This one's quite watchable, Charlie Sheen is good and gives a rare comic performance. Top marks go to Denise Richards who's evil performance is sadly not used as much as it should be.

This is different to the usual American comedy. Clever script and a good laugh.

I thought this would be a just a chick flick, but its actually one my husband found funny too. Charlie Sheen plays the part of a man who after losing his job and his girlfriend pretends shes sick and does her job giving advice. Very funny!!!!! would buy this one.
