SnoopyStyle Ryan Turner (Charlie Sheen) is a womanizing hard driving stockbroker. The big publisher CEO Donald Simpson double-crosses him by feeding him false information taking revenge for sleeping with his wife. Ryan loses his clients, his money, his job and even his broker's license. He is forced to live with his self-involved girlfriend Cindy (Denise Richards). She had enough of his poverty and leaves him. Without any prospects, he takes over her badly written advice column for her paycheque. He must pretend that Cindy is still writing at home to her boss Page Hensen (Angie Harmon). At first, he's just as bad as she was. Eventually he starts trying. His best friend Barry Sherman (Jon Lovitz) and wife Cathy (Rosanna Arquette) aren't the most stable. When the column starts to get traction, everybody wants a piece including Cindy and CEO Simpson.This is not a good movie. Charlie Sheen is not light rom-com material. If you question this notion, check this movie out and you'll see. The story is nothing to write home about but it's not that bad either. The setup is awkward. The jokes aren't funny. I didn't laugh once. Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette come closest to being funny. Charlie Sheen just isn't that guy. It's not a bad thing. Most actors can't do everything.

Amy Adler Ryan (Sheen) is an investment banker with an unethical idea he thinks will put him way ahead of the game. When the idea fails, he loses his job, his apartment, most of his savings, and his ditzy girlfriend, Cindy (Richards). The loss of gold digger Cindy unexpectedly provides Ryan with another job opportunity. Cindy jets off to Brazil with a supposed new beau and Ryan secretly writes Cindy's lovelorn column, to keep it going and to get a paycheck. However, Ryan becomes much better at giving advice than Cindy and increases the circulation of the paper that publishes the column. Problem? Ryan's new boss is a no-nonsense, very intelligent, beautiful, single woman and he starts to fall for her. Will she return the affections?This is a very cute movie, despite Sheen being somewhat wrong for the role. His transformation from jerk to good guy doesn't seem realistic. However, the other players, Richards, Everhard, Lovitz, Arquette, Newman and Estelle Harris are absolutely wonderful and make for a fun, fun time. There is a somewhat risqué tone to the film every now and then so viewer beware. However, this material is at a minimum and doesn't really spoil the enjoyment. If you love romantic and humorous stories, my advice is to find this one, put on your pajamas, and curl up on the sofa for an oasis of entertainment from the busy, busy world around us.

barrettbrown94111 This was a good little romantic movie. It has the typical messages or themes. Many "moral to the story" moments. But, if well presented, which this movie is, I don't think people get tired of watching such predictable story lines.Movie has it all. There are depictions of greed, lust, bimbos, stupidity, ethics, romance,love. As always, this movie gives people what they want, a happy ending. You conclude that things always work out in the end, guy gets the girl, success in business if you work hard are other messages.All in all a fine movie. After watching it you do not feel like you wasted your time.WARNING: if you watch this with a chick. Be ready for some questions like "honey, what would you do in that situation." Roto

triple8 If one stumbles across this movie they should watch it even if they never heard of it. Trying NOT to give to much away, I'll just mention the main plot which is: PLOT SPOILER:This was a light romantic comedy starring Charlie Sheen as Ryan, a rich, arrogant,playboy stockbroker who loses everything, when an enemy sets him up for a fall. His snobby superficial girlfriend Cindy, played by Denese Richards, Sheen's real life wife, isn't happy Ryan's no longer a big deal and leaves him. That's when things start to happen! Cindy is an advice columnist and not a very good one. When she takes off on Ryan(to Brazil) she also dumps the advice column-which Ryan(broke and needing money badly) takes over under Cindy's name-he also meets Cindy's co workers who include Angie Harmon as Page, Cindy's seemingly tough city girl yet vulnerable boss, and the biggest scene stealer in the movie IRIS!!!! hilariously played by Evelyn Harris(George from Seinfeld's mother?) who won't stop hitting on Ryan. Soon, "Cindy"y's column is the hottest thing in NYC, Ryan is becoming every woman's dream man as he discovers, through writing the column, what a jerk he used to be and he's falling in love with Page. But the trouble is just beginning...I REALLY liked this movie. Granted it's predictable as anything but it works. The chemistry between Sheen and Harmon is part of it. Angie Harmon is a great actress and portrays the tough yet sensitive big city working girl with flair. I've always been a fan of Charlie Sheen's and he doesn't disappoint in this. And the ensemble cast is great and make for constant hilarious one liners and plenty of kooky going ons.If someone has to have heavy deep "mystic river" type movies as a choice all the time they wont like this. If occasionally however one likes a good romantic comedy filed with two great leads with great chemistry, a non stop hilarious supporting cast set against the backdrop of NYC then this one's for you! 8 of 10.
