Ihan toimiva leffa. (Suom. Rakkausterapiaa)

Cute movie....I bet the book was even better. Loved it.

I thought this movie was interesting. I thought the actors did their parts well.

Nothing great about this movie. Christopher Eigeman was ok, but Famke Janssen really underplayd a lot. And the whole Dr thing.. say what?

Quirky film but well played by allthe actors.

A non-typical romantic comedy... Enjoyable.

Love these two actors! liked this movie!

A quirky engaging film in which an unconventional Freudian psychoanalyst pushes his patient, Jake Singer to engage life. Terrific performances by Chris Eigeman, Famke Janssen, and Ian Holm as Dr. Morales. The screenplay presents difficult choices to the audience who get to see if the characters make the same choice. Great score by John Zorn.

brutal truths of life I must say...

lost interest in this unfortunately. Perhaps I will try again another time and actually watch it through.

I hated this film, it was awful. I only saw it because of Famke but even she did a poor performance.

cute and quirky, just like I like 'em.

Very psychological movie about a man and his descissions, rumbled by love and life.pretty learning! liked it a lot!

A nice romantic comedy about a school teacher who finally falls in love with the right woman but must over come his psychoanalyst's objections (humorously played by Ian Holm) and a few unexpected twists. Oren Rudavsky shows that someone other than Woody Allen can create a comedy about relationship starved New Yorkers!

Having read the unpublished manuscript for one of the productions companies I worked for several years back, I was looking forward to seeing The Treatment adapted for the screen. However, I knew it would be tricky since the novel contained a lot of talky scenes of therapy sessions that could make the movie too slow. Well this adaptation certainly does not suffer from that problem. In fact, it is the lack of these dynamic scenes with their snappy dialogue that makes this film completely miss the mark. What I found absolutely hilarious about the novel were the interactions between the character of the therapist, Dr. Ernesto Morales (Ian Holm), an Argentinean Freudian Marxist and his patient, Jake Singer (the wonderful Chris Eigeman of the sophisticated Whit Stillman films), who is suffering from a general malaise in his life. Morales would practically bash Singer over the head with his outrageous, pompous and professionally inappropriate pronouncements that wound up goading Singer into action and breaking his psychological inertia. Unfortunately, most of these funny scenes never made it to the screen. Rather we can too many glimpses of Jake kanoodling with his new love interest, single mother, Allegra Marshall (Famke Janssen). In addition, while Sir Ian is a marvelous actor, he just isn't right for the part. There are plenty of swarthy and macho Latino actors (Raul Julia would have been perfect) who could easily endow Morales with the hubris and gusto deserving of the therapist who takes no prisoners. So many fun novels; so many dull movies.

There's nothing extraordinary about the film, but the ordinary feels almost perfected. No blips - just a well told story of coming to terms with one's shortcomings. Well placed and played, both Eigeman and Janssen played well and Holm was hilarious (without meaning to be so).

it's all about chris eigeman

Cute movie, but I was very disappointed by the ending.

Witty, genuine romantic flick. Not my traditional pick. A little 'flat' with lack of plot twists for my taste. However, I enjoyed it. The ending unfortunately felt too sudden.

sleeper. Great feel good story embarking upon relationship building. Very well conveyed with depth and perception. Great for psych teachers to use for a class.
