Man About Town (2006)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I cant say that i totally liked the movie. still i kinda liked it for one reason. i like the descriptive type of movie like where a character describes the story from his point of view. there are some really emotional scene in this film. there is some scenes about different types of relationships like father-son,husband-wife. but overall the movie was average. the thing i hate most about this film is it gets funny suddenly in the middle of a serious scene. it is not overall a serious movie. but it is fun, a family movie. here Ben affleck tries different things. in the movie he starts writing in journal about his life. but suddenly it gets stolen. then?? find out. hope you will enjoy.

"Man About Town" is the biggest DTV movie of 2007. I can see why it deserved that fate.The plot: Jack Giamoro (Affleck) is a smarmy talent agent who has a successful life and a beautiful wife (Romijn). He realizes that his wife is cheating on him with his top client (Adam Goldberg). This sets him off emotionally and he starts a journal and it contains all his dark secrets. Unfortunately, it gets stolen in a robbery and he needs it back desperately.The first 40 minutes are excellent. Affleck and Romijn are great and they have some strong chemistry. Then it falls apart....fast. The journal class\robbery subplot just doesn't work. If they cut that out and focused on the infidelity it would have been a stronger movie. I think this went straight to video because of its wildly uneven tone. It's not really a comedy, it's more of a drama. The climax, while entertaining, is predictable and feels rushed. The supporting cast is good however, with John Cleese standing out as Jack's teacher.Overall, "Man About Town" is worth seeing for the first 40 minutes. If you like Affleck, you might enjoy it. Take a look at the trailer! (Does contain spoilers!)

seeing it on cable. It was not very good. It's not really funny nor is it very entertaining. Ben Affleck is back to making the same boring, bad acting films. Rebecca Romijn still looks good for her age but still has little screen presence. If she wants to act, she should stick to TV roles. Ling Bai was OK, she offers what little humor there is. Also, as for the story, I don't buy that some fairly young, good looking guy with a high powered job would be just OK with his hot wife cheating on him with a client. He wouldn't just take her back.FINAL VERDICT: Just another Ben Affleck disappointment. There's nothing in this film really worth watching.

i wouldn't have thought i would like it so much, just thought it would be another of those usual comedies. But i was wrong it turned out to contain a real message and not a watch just-for-fun movie. The story of Jack's life from his point of view, with his problems ,doubts and difficulties, the fact that at one point he feels so lost that he does not know anymore where his life is aiming to,his need of understanding who he is, are all things that makes us know him personally not as a successful talent agent as he is presented at the start.Through the story we see how there is so much of him that is common in the rest of the characters... but wait a second it is common to us all too! As Jack says close to the end " we are all imperfect". Which justifies the need of forgiveness. No matter the importance of the message there are quite fun moments which still remind us we are watching a comedy movie but also sad and dramatic moments.It is actually a mixture of genres; for all tastes. Action (chinatown), drama, romance, comedy and a bit of suspense. The acting was good Dr.Prinkin was the most amusing even though the most enthralling scenes were the ones with Jack and Nina.If some of you is looking for a light movie not wanting to waste his time on the usual comedies pick this movie!
