The movie works so hard at juggling its cliches that it fails to generate interest in its story.

Walsh and Plummer are obviously pros, and they hustle to put across some patently ridiculous business, but, well, it's true about the polishing thing.
Though they can't transcend writer-director Michael Schroeder's pointed contrivances, the actors tap into something achingly true in this valentine to Hollywood's below-the-line crafts people and society's castoffs.
Man in the Chair has few surprises. Once its machinery is humming, it settles into a soothing fable of a last hurrah.
As a showcase for rising young star Michael Angarano and Christopher Plummer, pic offers the pleasures of connecting Hollywood traditions and generations in the spirit of Peter Bogdanovich's films about and inspired by the movies.
By salvaging a troubled script with deep, committed, touching portrayals, Plummer and Walsh help prove Schroeder's points about how Hollywood isn't just the province of the rich, young and pretty.
A ramshackle but likeable story.

wonderful movie by k girl Friend and I saw this movie. We both enjoyed it. Christopher Plummer did so good in it. Bring your tissue!
Man in the Chair by Terdou I think this is one of the most moving movies I've seen in a long time. I went with a friend and with my mother, who is 76 and is at the age where care centers are a real fear. Her sister is currently in a hospital at 81 and we're not sure if she will be able to go home yet. She has another sister who is in a private care home. She is extremely lucky. I thought all of the actors did a great job! Christopher Plummer did an excellent job and Robert Wagner looks great! I've been a fan for years of both men. I recognized a lot of faces in that care center full of old movie people. I'm not very good with names but I knew most of their faces. I definitely recommend this movie to everyone and their families of kids 13 and over. I didn't think the F word was necessary but I've never been fond of it anyway. Terry
