"about as memorable as the proverbial stock picture that came with the frame"

C-
"As part of the current season's spate of philosophical lifestyle pap movies like "Away We Go" and "$9.99," first-time-director (oh how I rue those words) John Hindman trips at every step."

4/5
"An uplifting spiritual drama about the value of wonder, the trouble with answers, the constrictions of fear, and the liberation of sharing and caring for others."

2.5/4
"The Answer Man is one of those modestly diverting motion pictures that's as sweet as cotton candy -- and as insubstantial."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/4
"
The Answer Man
is like a great big breath of fresh air on the first nice day of spring. It is a story with characters who feel real, as they try to find real answers to real problems."

1.5/4
"A dreary tale spun out of bland cliches and so many coincidences that one begins to believe its titular guru perhaps does have a direct line to the Almighty."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
5/10
"An earnest, banal, not-quite-satire of New Age wisdom that evolves into a psychobabbling romantic drama."
