Louis, a young teacher enamored of the age of F. Scott Fitzgerald, loses his job when he's caught trying on a bra he finds in a campus office. He decides to go to New York City to find himself and to be a writer. He answers an ad for a housemate placed by the eccentric and opinionated Henry Harrison; an odd-couple relationship starts. Louis gets a job selling advertising for a green magazine and fancies Mary, a co-worker. He meets Henry's neighbor, the hirsute Gershon, and Henry offers Paul schooling in the gentleman's world of being an "extra man" - a hired companion, a gigolo - for older women. Can Louis sort out these varied worlds as well as his own expectations?
Leave your thoughts about The Extra Man.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThere are fine, wry moments tucked inside the curdled whimsy. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfDoesn't leave a lasting impression, despite a story that almost demands discomfort from the viewer. It's never openly engaging, but there's a certain mischief to the piece that pleases. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenMore an exhibition of precious acting than an absorbing narrative. |
| Wisconsin State JournalRob Thomas"Extra Man" is a loving ode to the eccentrics of New York, and a wish that even in today's Disneyfied Manhattan, the city will always make room for the weirdos, too. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersThe episodic script is all verve and no wit, a relentless tribute to nonconformity that starts to exhaust its goofiness after the first hour. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe pic becomes too bent out of shape by so many kooks sharing the spotlight. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris Carpenter"The Extra Man" has its more outre moments but is in general an enjoyable, pitch-perfect celebration of non-conformity. Kevin Kline is a delight. |
| Associated PressJake CoyleKline's performance as Henry -- regal in its classical stage pronunciations -- is clearly the best thing in the film. But the character still fails to resonate; Henry isn't much more than a bag of peculiarities. |
| San Francisco ChronicleAmy BiancolliFor Kline's performance alone, The Extra Man is well worth seeing. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsKarina MontgomeryHarrison's life is a quest only for pleasure, and Kline and Dano definitely provide it, even if their arc is short and shallow. See it for Kevin. |
