1.5/5
"about as memorable as the proverbial stock picture that came with the frame"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

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."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

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."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

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."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

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."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger
