    Underrated movie
    Kevin Spacey played the lead as a constantly high shrink with a tragic past in this drama/comedy. He didn't have a lot of screen time, but was brilliant. The stories of his patients were also a big part of the movie and they all linked together beautifully. 'Shrink' is an underrated movie with a good story and fine acting.

    Note: Written in 2010
