Review of Numb

Numb (I) (2007)
6/10
Enjoyed this dark comedy -Wow "Chandler" can act
25 October 2014
I think the best thing about this movie is the fact that Mathew Perry finally leaves his 'Friends' character behind and does some real acting. He is a mess here and gives a pretty astounding performance as a chronically depressed screenwriter desperately trying to cure his condition after he finds the love of his life. 'Hudson' suffers from depersonalization disorder and tries a host of different therapists (Mary Steenburgen) and drugs in his quest to "feel" something other than anxiety.

Its an okay movie with a few good or funny moments i.e. ("Chandler" dropping f-bombs and smoking a giant bong.) I enjoyed Lynn Collins as his girlfriend and they appeared to have some genuine chemistry together. There are hints of something darker and deeper in flashbacks to his childhood and his mother. 02.03.14
