Hollywood agent Jack Giamoro (Ben Affleck) has a ruthless dedication to his work and a tendency to neglect his wife, Nina (Rebecca Romijn). Upon discovering that Nina has been sleeping with an up-and-coming actor, Giamoro enrolls in a self-help course and begins keeping a diary. But, when that diary, with its tell-all account of Giamoro's professional and personal turmoil, falls into the hands of freelance writer Barbi Ling (Bai Ling), he struggles to retrieve it and prevent a massive scandal.

Man About Town is frustratingly manic in its tone... the unevenness wears too thin too quickly.

2.5/5

Binder's made some really fine movies and some curiously weak ones; my opinion is that this one falls firmly in the latter group.

How dense is Binder? He uses an acoustic version of Our Lips Are Sealed to underscore a tender moment Jack recalls from his childhood. Because nothing says 1976 quite like an iconic song from 1981.

...Binder's reliance on increasingly melodramatic elements effectively negates the film's few positive attributes...

O desfecho, em sua nsia de amarrar a narrativa com uma mensagenzinha engrandecedora, soa falso e no faz jus ao restante do filme, que utiliza muito bem o humor para desenvolver personagens quase sempre interessantes.
