Product Description
Hudson Milbank (Matthew Perry) is convinced that he's going insane. But he's just met the perfect girl (Lynn Collins, The Lake House) and struggles to be his most charming self. Meanwhile, he frantically seeks a cure for his anxieties and goes through a string of therapists who turn out to be crazier than him. Co-starring Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects) and Mary Steenburgen as a hilarious lusty psychiatrist, Numb will warm the heart of anybody who has ever teetered on the edge of a breakdown.

 A Fresh Movie With Great Acting September 9, 2008

This is Matthew Perry's best movie. It shows him being a mental case that painfully goes through life looking for cures to his illness. Along the way he meets a few girls and always has his wingman but his constant struggle with his own reality is what compells this movie into greatness. It's a rare view for the movie junkie to see. It kind of does for Matthew Perry what "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" did for Jim Carrey. As much as I liked the Carrey movie, at times it was very confusing. This flick however stays with you the whole way , with laughs and new discoveries along the way. A must see for the true critic.

This was quite an unsatisfying movie. I bought it because of Matthew Perry and the description made it sound like a drama/comedy. Unfortunately there was nothing funny about it. Most of the acting was flat and at times the story line was so boring that I fast forwarded many times.
 Incredibly boring film - I expected better. July 20, 2008

I picked this movie up because Matthew Perry and Mary Steenburgen almost always deliver but this was one was a real disappointment. Matthew Perry's character is experiencing a period of depersonalization and life has gone flat - no highs, no lows. Unfortunately, the movie suffered from the same condition. He's depressed and he's looking for answers - along the way, he discovers a beautiful girl. Perry's character goes from one condescending therapist to another and that could be funny...but it isn't. The interactions with his family should add something to the plot but it really doesn't. He even breaks up with the beautiful girl and that should provide some anti-climax, but it doesn't. A little ways into the movie, Perry's character steals a pen from the drug store - the kleptomania is only a device that is needed in the break-up scene; it doesn't really get explained or resolved once it is no longer necessaryto the plot. A couple of nude shots and a ton of uses of the "F-word" are thrown in to try to keep the audience from going numb but it's like trying to revive a dying patient by sticking their tongue between the posts of a 9-volt battery, rather than using a defibrillator.
The movie kept reminding me of a couple of Bill Murray movies - "Lost in Translation" and "Broken Flowers" and I'm just not sure we really need one more movie about a jaded, self-absorbed person shuffling blandly through the lives of those around him.

Most people who view this movie will not be able to actually enjoy the movie for what is worth. I myself have "depersonalization/derealization" and the movie is pretty much my life in a nutshell. Very humorous, with a love story involved. I am just glad the director who himself suffers from this dissociative disorder, tries to spread the world about how we are here in the world without any medicine to help subside the problems and anxiety that comes from feeling like Matthew Perry does in the movie.
Not bad...... June 17, 2008

I picked this up b/c it had Matthew Perry on the cover. I have always been a fan of his acting. I loved him on Friends and was curious what he could bring to another character. At times I felt almost as though I was his character..meaning..he really seemed to bring the character to life in a way that you almost felt like you were a part of it and what he was going through. His portrayal of Hudson Milbank was flawless. There were some funny scenes...I am glad I saw it and look forward to more great movies from this very talented actor.
