I bought this movie on the advice of my sage friend Pnut and because this movie featured Charlie Sheen, who is a top-flight actor who usually picks decent scripts. I was not disappointed. This is a fun and sassy show with a good story and slightly implausible but satisfying finish. Well acted and scripted and loaded with laughs. Warm and lighthearted comedy at its finest. Definitely recommended.

I just saw this movie last night. I was flipping through the channels and decided to give this one a try. I thought it was going to be lame, but it wasn't! The comedic performances of Angie Harmon's secretary, full of inuendo and some pretty hysterical remarks really made it all worthwhile. John Lovitz and his gold-digger wife also contribute much with their love-hate dialouge. Denise Richards doesn't have a huge part, but does a good job in this comedy. Charlie Sheen, although not usually a favorite of mine, was pretty good in this one, thanks to Angie and her Sec. Enjoy!

This was an interesting, sometimes narrow film. There were too many striking similarities to the movie "Wall Street" (Charlie Sheen was also in that) to be called anything different than a copy of it. While it was good, I kept wanting to picture Gordon Gekko as the head of the newspaper rather than the other guy. Overall good, but too much a copy of "Wall Street" to be recognized as different.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie since it was a new release 6 months ago and you can already find it in the dicounted section of certain stores. It's well worth the money. It's a good romantic comedy. I never thought Charlie Sheen was much of an actor but his performance here is better than usual. Denise Richards isn't too outstanding. She really can't act and that shows here and in everything else she's ever been in. It's Angie Harmon who steals the show. She's a very beautiful, very talented actress who pretty much dominates this movie. She hasn'e been in too many movies before, but hopefully we'll see more of her. Another highlight is Sheen's friend, played by Jon Lovitz, a P-whipped plastic surgeon married to a controlling wife played by Rosanna Arquette. They add a lot of comic relief to the movie. Don't let the fact that this movie is already in the dicounted section at stores fool you into thinking this movie [is bad]... It's worth the money depending on where you buy it.

No it's not an Academy Award winner, but to me it's even better!!! This movie makes you feel good (and to girls like me, even hopeful again!)and you can't put a price on happiness!

As bad as it sounds. Really now, how do movies like this get made? Nine producers were responsible for this mess. Everything about it screams direct-to-video, which is exactly where it ended up. I wonder if that's what all those producers originally planned. Don't even waste your time watching it for free on TV. So un-funny, so badly acted, it hurts.

This was a movie at first I wasn't really crazy about seeing, but one day caught it on pay-per-view & it did catch my eye. This is one of Charlie Sheens best films... A big plus is Angie Harmon... She is an incredible & very beautiful actress. All in all, the characters of this movie were well put together...

This movie is fun, funny and romntic. So what, the plot is thin and predictalbe ... Angie, Charlie and Denise are really great together!

This movie was actually very entertaining and ironic. A worthwhile buy, especially good for dates.

I just finished watching this movie and enjoyed it. There were some things I did not like about it, however. The character played by Rossane Arquette was quite annoying and became less funny as the movie went on. (Too bad because I loved her in DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN). Another thing that started to bother me was the poor storyline detail concerning the fact that Denise Richards' character NEVER would have been hired as an advice "expert!" She comes across as someone with little brains and even less common sense.(Of course, I would forgive any of her flaws just to stare at her, which is why I rented this movie in the first place). Now with the good points: Charlie Sheen was funny and came across well in the title role. I liked most of the cast very much. There are enough twists and turns to keep anybody entertained. You decide if the plot is believeable. For me, it was a movie I would watch again.
