Good Advice - DVD

Good Advice - Starring Charlie Sheen and Angie Harmon

Good Advice is one of those pictures that comes along every few years. Sure to be a sleeper DVD hit, you'll find it's a great picture to share with someone close. Not too many "love scenes" and no nudity, the adult themes are super-imposed on a great cast that follows the natural progression of the story in a very true-to-life fashion.

Charlie Sheen is very believable as an over-achieving stock broker that is led down the garden path to his own greedy self-destruction and eventually finds himself as he impersonates his (ex-) girlfriend in her capacity as a New York advice columnist. His advice is touching at times and the story line, although in parts predictable, will warm your heart.

Watch for a great role played by Angie Harmon as the nearly bankrupt newspaper publisher that finds wealth and love in Charlie Sheen's character.

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
