The Answer Man
Comments (0) Filed under: MoviesTags: Arlen Faber, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Graham, The answer man
It’s very rare to have movies with Lauren Graham at Hollywood Multiplex (at the Mall). It was clear that I wasn’t going to miss this chance, like I missed some movies in the past.
So I went and saw “The Answer Man” aka “Arlen Faber“. The movie just started so weird and all characters just seemed ugly to me, even Lauren’s character, seemed old and tired. And it’s been a long time since I have seen a movie with Jeff Daniels who, by the way, has gotten really old. I didn’t even recognize him to begin with.
Okay, beside the fact that the two main characters were middle aged, it seemed the movie will be one of the stupid movies where the dialogue is 90% swearing (like in “The Good Guy”). The only fun part was with the poor kid, Alex, and his very weird car seatbelt. It got me thinking into buying one for me for the occasions when my brother or father is the driver.
But if I would’ve followed one of Arlen Faber advices “If you smell shit, you go the other way” I would’ve left without seeing the entire movie.
So, I stayed and I really enjoyed the movie. It was fun and had a nice story. By the end of the movie, the characters stopped being ugly and they were actually pretty. It’s hard to explain why I saw them different in less than an hour. I am thinking that was and the goal of the movie makers.
Plus, it just shows that you can learn everything from books and sometimes you need to get out and learn things by interacting with people and different situations, no matter how stressful or annoying some may be.
It also gave some nice advices and it actually makes one believe that there might be people out there who can answer most life questions.
It seems I am enjoying family movies a lot these days and who can blame me. Either way, as a Lauren Graham fan, I am happy to have seen one of her latest movies.
