The Answer Man Offers Philosophically-Infused Flirtation

Sure The Ugly Truth, Orphan and G-Force all hit theaters this weekend, but also expanding into many markets is The Answer Man, starring Jeff Daniels as the hermetic, bestselling author of a culturally defining religious tome who finds his crabby worldview challenged by both a bookstore owner (Lou Taylor Pucci) fresh out of rehab and a massage therapist and single mom (Lauren Graham) who puts up a facade of progressive properness for her 7-year-old son even as his behavior at school indicates he’s starting to feel the effects of his absentee father. Well worth checking out if you have a soft spot for show-up-wounded-type adult love stories.
