"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)
