Lauren Graham‘s movie The Answer Man (previously The Dream of the Romans or Arlen Faber) premiered On Demand on June 26th, with theatrical release coming up on July 24th.
I decided to rustle up some reviews of the film, and of Lauren Graham’s performance:
This is one of the best romantic comedies I’ve seen in a long time… Graham is… pitch perfect and the chemistry kindles plausibly between the pair as Arlen befriends her small, scared son Alex (Max Antisell). – Holland Sentinel
‘The Answer Man’ blends a great story (written by director John Hindman), bursts of fresh humor, rich sounds and textures, well-developed central characters, and strong performances from the actors… As the over-protective healer, Graham plays a loving, spiritual character reminiscent of her role in ‘Evan Almighty.’ – Suite 101
It’s an endearing, at time touching, little film that combines romance with some grounded spirituality (it’s never gag-inducing). – Pajiba
“The Answer Man” (formerly known as “Arlen Faber”) is very smart, very funny, very insightful and very well-written by John Hindman, who also directs… the ever-radiant Ms. Graham lends oodles of nuance to a slightly under-written role; she’s great as the empathetic chiropractor who befriends Daniels. – mlive
Though his film is a tad choppy and a lot chatty, Hindman elicits sympathetic performances from leads who demonstrate a deep understanding of movie physics. – Philly.com

i cant wait to watch this film either!! I have a feeling i will never be able to, i live in the UK :( We dont see enough of Lauren Graham, she is a wonderful actress.
I really do love this movie. Lauren and everyone else are really awesome in it and I think that there is great chemistry between Lauren and Jeff. Got a lot of laughs, a few shocks, some tears and some things to really think about. Loved Lauren’s foot stomping anger. I was all set at midnight on the 26th to watch it and I have watched it at least two dozen times so far. I watched it 8 times alone on the 26th just to get my monies worth and recorded it so that I can watch it any time. I really do hope that it comes to a theater near me because, even with all of the times I have seen it already and will probably watch it many more times before it is released, I really do want to see this on the big screen. Especially some of the scenes with Lauren. She looks amazing on the little screen and will look all the more amazing on the big screen. I really like Max, the boy who plays her son. This is a must see movie in my book.
I saw this movie on amazon video on demand. I loved it! I’m so glad to see her for more than 15 minutes in a movie. Yes she was type casted as a single mom, but she played it very well. She and Jeff Daniels have good chemistry on screen. It’s a great movie, rent it if you can- it’s definitely worth it.
Lauren graham was absolutely radiant as usual. She captivated me with her role, i couldn’t stop watching. While Elizabeth was nothing like Lorelai, there was a certain something that reminded me of her, alot. :)
can’t wait until i can own this on dvd!
I LOVED this movie! It was GREAT!
The movie sounds fab..can’t wait to see it! Gutted that I can’t watch it online (I live in the UK) :(
Lauren Graham is awsome at what she does. I can’t wait to see this movie. She so awsome that to hear this movie is a hit.
