A man who is suddenly without feelings is motivated by a love he isn't quite sure is there in this offbeat independent comedy. Hudson (Matthew Perry) is a screenwriter who has enjoyed a modest success in Hollywood, but one day he suddenly and inexplicably sinks into a strange funk -- he feels strangely removed from the world around him, as if reality has slipped away and he can't physically or emotionally feel his surroundings. Hudson's writing partner Tom (Kevin Pollock) is more than a bit disturbed by the sudden change in Hudson's demeanor, and on his advice he begins seeing the first of several psychiatrists, most of whom prescribe a dizzying variety of drugs, except for Dr. Blaine (Mary Steenburgen), who is turned on by Hudson's condition and ends up having an affair with him. As Hudson seems to be running out of ways to reconnect with himself, he meets Sarah (Lynn Collins), a beautiful woman who is quite taken with him and decides to introduce him to as many positive and compelling experiences as possible. The first feature-length directorial project for screenwriter Harris Goldberg, Numb received its North American premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This movie has about two or three good scenes in it and the rest is like watching the grass grow. Mathew perry plays a disfuctiional psycotic and actually makes it BORING to watch. The only good part is when his lady shrink acts crazier than he is!!!..Otherwise the REST of the movie is a BORE. A solid two to three star movie at best.

    Unlike many here, I liked the movie. I thought that Matthew Perry did a phenomenal acting job in the movie. He truly captured the mood and you could believe that he had this disease. I think it's more of a drama/comedy then just a comedy since it does deal with some heavy issues. But, it actually deals with some of that in a light-hearted way. It was really interesting to know that writer/director Harris Goldberg was actually telling the story of himself.

    i was really excited to watch this movie and to tell you the truth it disappointed me. It was really slow, depressing, and overall not that great. There were some parts that i liked but overall the movie was ok.
