It's hard to find a Kevin Spacey performance that doesn't deliver and this one is no exception. He's great in it and all the characters are well developed with one exception. I don't want to spoil the movie at all but I think you'll see what I mean as you watch it. It was also very nice to see a movie that was clearly made in Los Angeles, just about every scene was in a neighborhood I recognized. From Los Feliz to the Hollywood hills and Griffith Park to the Bank of America building downtown, every scene was real Los Angeles which is always a treat for us locals. It's got drama and a little humor delivered on perfect pitch all the way through and you'll find it easy to lose yourself in the story.

The plot is probably realistic, but as nothing catchy is happening most of the time, it becomes annoying soon; well, there are some twists, but they are not surprising or so - bearing in mind the past or present behavior of the characters and the things happened to them. The number of characters is very big and the level of their interlocking is difficult to monitor at times. The cast is strong, but Kevin Spacey's character (Dr. Henry Carter) is still most elaborated and visible on screen; however, it is not among the best roles Spacey has performed. Moreover, there are also good small supporting roles (Robin Williams as Jack Holden, Robert Loggia as Dr. Robert Carter, Henry's father).I presume it is well accepted in the U.S. where seeing a shrink is almost a regular element of life and success. But the topic and the types were uninviting to me - although I tend to like Sundance movies.

There are some different kind of movies who touches your heart, this is one of them.While I was watching it I see some pieces of myself out there. Im interesting in psychology too, so if u like psychology this is a "must see movie" for you.On the other hand Kevin Spacey is great as always he do. Cast is perfect. You can easily watch it without bored till the end even if you have no info about psychology stuff cos its nearly real life.You gonna see how a beautiful young girl turns on a star and the other things. There is no nudity so you can watch it with all your family and this movie comes with cool ideas for young people especially having trouble with school.If you are in depressive condition or just not feel happy for a long time, maybe this movie gonna be a good choice for you.

Once again anything that Kevin Spacey touches is usually gold. The narcissist story line runs throughout. It is for you to decide which character cares only for themselves the most but don't worry most will get a blast of humanity.Especially enjoyable is the father son relationship between Henry Carter, Spacey, and his father, Robert Loggia. The dynamic of an old school Psychiatrist, Loggia, to a "Therapist to the Stars", Spacey, is both funny and painful some at the same time.The out reach of Henry to the young Jemma, Keke Palmer, is the true plot line that runs the movie forward. Watching them try to build a relationship is deeply moving at times and even more so into the climax. No big twists but a pleasant ride!
