The Answer Man
He wrote the book on life's big questions. But the truth is he hasn't got a clue.
Directed by John Hindman
Produced by 120dB Films, Messick Films
A gentle romantic comedy about a spiritually bankrupt recluse learning to open his heart through an unlikely connection with his chiropractor.
Twenty years ago, Arlen Faber wrote a book about spirituality that became wildly popular. These days, he's a curmudgeonly recluse who only enjoys the company of his chiropractor, Elizabeth. As Elizabeth's warmth starts to melt Arlen's cold heart, he comes to realize what love really means.
