Back in the day I was a stockbroker
whose unethical business practices cost me my job and my trader's license. Unable to find another job, I was forced to move in with my equally self-involved (and completely oblivious) girlfriend, Cindy , an insensitive advice columnist on the cusp of losing her own job due to her poor advice and slow work habits. Finding that the truth behind my moving in has nothing to do with romance, she ran off with another (richer) man. I decide to stay in the apartment and earn a living by doing Cindy's job. I quickly established myself with Cindy's editor, Page, as Cindy's go-fer, collecting Cindy's paychecks and mail and delivering "her" columns. Initially as hopelessly inept as Cindy was in giving advice, I nearly got the column canceled. However, I rapidly grew into the job and the combination of forced introspection, research and the growing knowledge that i was touching other people's lives transformed me. The column became an amazing success. I found my initially superficial attraction to Page growing into love, but I couldn't reveal my feelings while I was a deceptive fraud. Meanwhile, Cindy became aware of "her" growing fame, and the bitch returned to cash in, at the same time that the owner of a rival newspaper chain attempts to force Page to sell "Cindy's" column to me. oooh what a palaver...

sorry :P

Yeah
It is a pile of shit film , the "good advice" it comes out with is be nice to people and don't be a huge asshole, something that a lot of us aspire to anyway...avoid it, unless like some people I know, you love anything that John Cusack is in.
