Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

studioAT Kelsey Grammar is beloved as Frasier Crane from Cheers and Frasier so you can see why film makers would want to take advantage of that on the big screen. Sadly this film is not a good one, and despite the best efforts of Grammar, I don't think I laughed very much at all.He is without doubt the best thing in the film though, displaying all of the comic timing and delivery that we came to love on his TV show. The problem is that the film is so slow and the plot uninteresting that Grammar is fighting a losing battle trying to keep it afloat.Amanda Donohue adds very little and as she did in Liar Liar only acts as a straight person to the comedian.If you're a die hard Kelsey fan then you might enjoy it, other than that I'd avoid it.

Mark Price Well I like Kelsey Grammar so I decide to watch this last night. Now I know he is not box office and my expectations were not built up so I was pleasantly surprised that I not only enjoyed it overall but laughed out loud in parts – mostly from the daughter. She had the best lines! Amanda Donohoe, normally glam personified played not quite plain but lacking self esteem very well. Kelsey Grammar plays the usual and that is not knocking him, he does that cynical but soft underneath to perfection. Yes a lot of the plot is predicable but you are hardly going to see something new. The main cast play well of each other and the one-liners are thrown away in a timely fashion.I can only think the earlier review had jet lag or bad service on his air flight. This is an excellent B movie.

Henry Miyamoto the film would have been enhanced by a better musical score. At times, the score worked against the mood of the film. And at other times, was silent when some mood cue was required.

dilbert "The Real Howard Spitz" is the story of a detective writer who switches to children's books because he thinks there's more money in it. The only problem is, he doesn't particularly like children. Despite his curmudgeonliness, a little girl befriends him and encourages him to pursue this new career. Kelsey Grammer is utterly believable as the cynical, money-hungry author, and Amanda Donohoe is charming and beautiful as the little girl's mother (and, predictably, Kelsey Grammer's love interest). The film is supposedly set in the US but was actually shot in Halifax, Nova Scotia.This film is really intended for children but has one minor example of foul language. The children and young adolescents in the audience seemed to be having a good time, and Kelsey Grammer fans will, too. In my experience, there are very few terrible Canadian films, and "The Real Howard Spitz" certainly isn't one of them. Go see it, or rent it, because you certainly won't lose any special effects by seeing it on the small screen.
