A paranoid, germaphobic man, haunted by a difficult childhood and unable to maintain relationships, believes he's finally found love with Sarah, a beautiful woman who seems to understand him. However, his condition worsens as he becomes convinced she might be a con artist trying to exploit him.

Numb received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who found the premise interesting but poorly executed. While some appreciated Matthew Perry's performance as a character dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, many felt the film struggled to balance its comedic and dramatic elements, often leaning too heavily into the more uncomfortable aspects of the protagonist's condition without offering sufficient resolution or insight.

• Matthew Perry delivers a committed performance as a man crippled by OCD.
• The film's attempt to blend dark humor with genuine pathos falls short for many critics.
• Lacks the necessary depth and clarity to fully explore its sensitive subject matter.

Google audience: Audiences were somewhat divided, with a majority finding the film's exploration of OCD to be somewhat uncomfortable or heavy-handed. While some appreciated the dramatic performance and the unique premise, others felt the movie did not handle the mental health aspects with enough nuance or offer a satisfying emotional arc.

Matthew Perry's own struggles with addiction and recovery are often seen as informing his portrayal of a character dealing with severe mental health issues and self-destructive tendencies.
