Featured reviews
Danny Comden, the writer/director of this funny film, has to be congratulated in bringing these talented people together in a film that might not it be everyone's favorite, but it will reward the viewer with lots of laughs. Mr. Comden shows he has the makings of a good director.
The film chronicles the trials and tribulations of an aspiring actor in L.A. He is always broke. He is a man about town with lots of friends, but no luck with women, except he appears to be looking in all the wrong places. He doesn't see that Chloe is the woman for him, and he'll only discover it at the end.
The rest of the characters are well written. The best being Justin, the man who wants to be an agent in and has to experience all the humiliation that goes with the job, working for the bitch from hell. His life is a mess and on top of that he has to put up with Brenda, the hysterical woman who rules his life.
The fresh faces in the film are the best asset of the film. Balthazar Getty gives an appealing look to Sol. Katherine Towne is the brainy Chloe. Jamie Kennedy is perfect as Justin, the aspiring agent that is humiliated by everyone. Danny Comden is the egotistical Cooper, a man into looks and fashion. Natasha Gregson Wagner does well as Brenda. The rest of the cast is well balanced.
"Sol Goode" is a fun film to watch. It will not disappoint the viewer without any expectations.

Can anyone tell me what's the amazing Song at the 80th minute in the movie? I really love it, i wanna have it that much . The movie is okay. I've seen better films, i didn't understand the point that's the film about. It's not that funny. But I liked the scene where Sol told his best friend that he is really in love with her. That scene is really amazing, best at the whole film in my opinion. The movie is okay. I've seen better films, i didn't understand the point that's the film about. It's not that funny.

Harmless sexbased comedy that never takes itself seriously, and all in all isnt too shabby. Its incredibly depressing that even with the bags of money Getty sleeps on, he still cant find a believable hairpiece. The one used in this film is particularly distracting. But the movie is good if your up for the genre.
I recently watched this movie on TMC-XW. It represents everything that's wrong with the mentality of those that make movies. It "boasts" unbelievable characters, a derivative storyline and possibly the worst soundtrack I've ever heard.
Movie-makers have no grip on middle-American values. I consider myself decidedly middle American and do not know one person who uses the "f" word as much as these characters. They use it at times when it doesn't make sense. In addition, the characters are comic-bookish. The role of Happy the Cowboy and Sol's mom and dad are completely unbelivable. Maybe people in New York and California resemble these characters but you won't find them anywhere else.
But worse, these characters were thrust into a plot that's been done to . Platonic friends become lovers. Gee, how original. I knew within minutes of watching the movie how it would end.
Finally, the soundtrack was horrible and the music most times didn't even match the moment.
Stay away!

Get a life... stop pretending to be smart people. Stop pretending that this comedy was disappointing. If You are saying this comedy was disappointing and was dumb than you are really showing Your intelligence level. Did You think this movie was going to reveal the secrets of existence? Did You possibly believe it would hint at the meaning of life and some dogma idea? Did You believe You would actually be able to look deep into this film and find a message through the composition and juxtaposition of shots? If You did you have shown your mom should be choosing your movies. this is a movie you can watch when you get off your high horse and chill with friends (im assuming you have) and all those chickys we like to meet up with on our days off (im assuming you have). The characters are all general so we can laugh at similar situations we have had either through friends or ourselves... assuming we have all experienced life and not been shut ins. NOT A GOOD FILM but not a bad FLICK for something to play when you need a laugh with friends... or need to play something in the background during a party of 30-40 people so you can look aside and catch something funny throughout the night. For people who are like the lead character and have friends ---women and male--- they chill with. For loners that film will have no impact whatsoever... for those with friends and who like to have a good time, aren't shut-ins, this movie simply reminds you of antics here and there.
Frankly i thought it was fine... i certainly don't need to pretend that it insulted my intelligence because having intelligence i knew it was going to be void of, earth shattering, meaning.
