Numb

Matthew Perry is not that amazing an actor, but the role he plays in Numb is a perfect fit for him. And I think that if a truly amazing actor had been cast in this role, it would give the film another dimension. Still, Numb is a pleasant, clever movie whose greatest asset is the likability of Lynn Collins and (finally AMAZING) chemistry between her and Perry’s character. A better three stars. (01.11.2008)

What I really like about this movie is that the main character isn't a moron, idiot and doesn't let himself be led around by the nose... at least not for too long. But that's about it. The main couple is likable, the music is too, Perry is no longer just doing Chandler and it suits him well. A feel-good film to sit down to after a tiring day or just to stave off boredom – that's what it's made for. (17.03.2009)

Yes, Matthew Perry is quite a good actor, I already know that. The fact that he mostly appears in rather unnecessary comedies is a different matter. "The Confused Soul" is definitely a step in the right direction. He did a good job in it, it's one of those modern comedy-drama movies where you feel like it actually means something. And it does. Occasionally, some clichés are inserted into it, which is a bit disappointing. It's true, the ending is also quite predictable, but it's bearable. (10.03.2014)
