Everyone wants to meet Arlen Faber, the world famous author of the best-selling spiritual book "Me and God," but crotchety, disgruntled Arlen simply wants to be left alone - and so far he's been successful in keeping his identity a secret. But all that changes when troubled bookstore owner Kris Lucas discovers his home address and barters books for Arlen's words of wisdom, and a back injury leads the reclusive writer to begin dating chiropractor and overprotective single mother Elizabeth. As Arlen's relationships with his newfound friends begin to grow, he must come to terms with his past and the realization that he doesn't hold all the answers.
Leave your thoughts about The Answer Man.
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThough his film is a tad choppy and a lot chatty, Hindman elicits sympathetic performances from leads who demonstrate a deep understanding of movie physics. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerA promising premise and some very good actors are smothered in goo in The Answer Man. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe Answer Man is a passable way to kill two hours on a lazy summer afternoon, and perhaps an excuse to get out of the heat. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHow much more interesting is a film like "(500) Days of Summer," which is about the complexities of life, in comparison with this one, which cheerfully cycles through the cliches. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA perfect example of an Intelligent Bad Movie. |
| NPRMark JenkinsA theological trifle that ultimately twists itself into a romantic comedy. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottNever shows enough passion to be interestingly bad. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigDull, dreary Answer Man raises this question: Why? |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippConveniently, everyone wears their symptoms on their sleeves, but because the characters are so haphazardly drawn, their pain remains elusive to the end. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanDaniels plays Arlen with a kind of cuddly crankiness; he makes him a jerk who just needs a hug. |
