Watch: Good Advice 2001 123movies, Full Movie Online – Ryan is a womanizing stockbroker whose unethical business practices cost him his job and his trader’s license. Unable to find another job, he is forced to move in with his equally self-involved (and completely oblivious) girlfriend, Cindy, an insensitive advice columnist on the cusp of losing her own job due to her poor advice and slow work habits. Finding that the truth behind his moving in has nothing to do with romance, Cindy runs off with another man. Ryan decides to stay in the apartment and earn a living by doing Cindy’s job. Ryan establishes himself with Cindy’s editor, Page, as Cindy’s go-fer, collecting Cindy’s paychecks and mail and delivering “her” columns. Initially as hopelessly inept as Cindy in giving advice, he nearly gets the column canceled. However, he rapidly grows into the job and the combination of forced introspection, research and the growing knowledge that he is touching other people’s lives transforms him. The column becomes an amazing success. Ryan finds his initially superficial attraction to Page growing into love, but he cannot reveal his feelings while he is a deceptive fraud. Meanwhile, Cindy becomes aware of “her” growing fame, and returns to cash in, at the same time that the owner of a rival newspaper chain attempts to force Page to sell “Cindy’s” column to him..
Plot: An investment banker loses everything and must discover what’s important in life.

Hilariously funny
I bought the DVD at the local video store and nearly passed it up: after all, there are never any good movies in the sales section, are there? Well, this one definitely is good.The Story: Ryan is a Wall Street Broker and a real big asshole (as his friend states: “huge would be an understatement”). But after losing his job and his girlfriend leaving him for a richer guy, he has to pay the rent somehow. And the only job he can lay his hands on is writing his girlfriend’s “Ask Cindy”-column. And after dropping all his machismo the column even turns out successful…. (But before the end of course he still has to get his revenge for losing his job and also to get a new girlfriend. Wouldn’t be a comedy otherwise, would it?)
While not the very best of movies, it is very and funny and also has a few memorable quotes. I personally liked the way the camera followed Ryan’s butt several times which was quite refreshing to all the times a camera drops down a woman’s neckline (even though my husband pointed out the camera did follow Page every time she leaned forward to get up from her chair).
For me, the movie was actually rather hurtful: I like to clap my hands or slap my knees at scenes which I really like. And after the movie, my hands hurt!
Delightful surprise
I’m happy that I hadn’t read the negative review on this site before I saw the DVD on the video store shelf — otherwise, I would have passed over a good movie. I knew nothing about it before seeing it on the shelf, so perhaps my expectations were low. True, it was not Academy Award material, but it was a good romantic comedy — cute and funny. And that was the unanimous consensus of the 2 females and 1 male who watched it together. Give it a try!
