Summary of The Extra Man

Louis Ives, a lonely dreamer who fancies himself the hero of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, leaves his job and heads to Manhattan to become a writer. He rents a room in the ramshackle apartment of Henry Harrison, a wildly eccentric, but brilliant, playwright who happens to be an “extra man”—a social escort for the wealthy widows of New York’s high society. The two form an unexpected bond.

Needs something extra
It was a good movie, I just felt like it tried too hard. Kevin Kline was great, as he usually is. It lacked a few things, but one of the most noticeable to my eye was that the characters didn’t really have a great chance to develop. I always feel...
Funny
I liked the film. It was a nice combination of laughs with a little bit of drama. Nice stuff!
Likely to see
Not for me
