The Answer Man

I decided to see this movie because A. we were having a snow storm and I didn’t have a movie to watch so I sloooowly fired it up on Netflix watch instantly … and B. it had Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls fame and I like her and C. it was a romantic comedy and sometimes I'm just in the mood for one of those. The Answer Man, played by Jeff Daniels, is an author of self-help books with a cult following whose personal life is a mess. My findings of this so-so weirdo romantic comedy, are that it was interesting enough to hold my attention, and odd enough to be unpredictable, and an overall unique premise, good actors, but in the end kinda cheesy and kinda enhhh with no chemistry between the two leads.

A. I call for a new line of film criticism that ignores the depassé term "chick flick" in place of "weirdo romantic comedy", because who are we but weirdo romantics? (chicks is a sexist term, you see) B. Although, as you say, using the correct terminologie that sometimes films (esp. on instant play, which has gotten me through many a pile of dishes) are simply "kinda ehhh," what distinguishes the best of these wierdo films is that they must be "odd enough to be unpredictable", the alluring power of the best of films. C. Finally, can I just say, that the 1-2-3, A-B-C listing of thoughts is by far the most effective and hilarious mode of expression I have ever used. (and also one I happened to hear in Duluth several times...)
