From the first scenes of Eric Fleming's "The Almost Guys," we are treated to a comedy that while following some old formulas, never once feels old itself. The humor and wit, the sensitivity and warmth, all have their place in the mix. From moments of rolling on the floor laughter to tear heart felt talks between a father and son, this film has got the date market sewn up. It's all guy-flick, and all chick-flick all at the same time. Bravo! Robert Culp is a hoot, as usual. With a part written so that he could use that 'ol Culp magic, Robert hasn't been funnier in years. The young man playing Flemings son in the film is a treat. Most young people, IMHO, can't seem to act but, rather they react and that's just not the same thing. This young man has a bright future ahead of him in the film industry. Indeed, everyone in the film does a wonderful job. No part goes to waste, and there's never a dull moment. If you get a chance to see this film, do it.
