Rent The Nice Guys (2016)

Good fun - The Nice Guys review by IV

It's a good, fun, buddy movie, set in the 70's. There is minimum topless nudity - it's not really a focus of the film. It's got some good scenes and laugh out loud moments.

Perhaps not a friday or saturday night movie, but watched this mid-week and enjoyed it.

Not a true classic, but I will watch it again when it is on free to air TV.

Dumb and Dumber - The Nice Guys review by BH

It's essentially Dumb and Dumber with better actors. That's not enough. It's funny in parts, and while Angouri Rice as a precocious 13-year-old is excellent, it's hard not to feel uncomfortable watching the scenarios in which she's placed. Watchable, but not essential viewing by any stretch of the imagination.

Well, I enjoyed it. - The Nice Guys review by ND

For goodness' sake, it's a film, not a code to live by. Lighten up, people.

We sat down and loved it. The little girl was excellent but all the acting was good enough and the plot both keeps your attention and can be followed.

When it comes on the telly I'll make sure I watch it.

Rent this film, it's well worth it.

cringe-worthy - The Nice Guys review by JM

Classified as a 'thriller', I found it anything but thrilling -just silly. It would have been more helpful to describe it as a 'comedy thriller', not that it was funny, either. It was certainly not at all my taste, though I note that it did appeal to some. I confess that I did not watch it all.

Ok - The Nice Guys review by DJ

As some one suggested , could be improved while having a drink. Run of the mill comedy/drama which did not exhaust the detective in ones self. No Oscar performances but better than THE REVERANT which bored me to death with the 2 hour traumatic craw across the screen.

Embarrassingly Unfunny - The Nice Guys review by Alphaville

When the opening scene features a car crash that focusses on the naked breasts of the dead porn star driver, you know you’re in for a distasteful time. This oh-so-uncool movie even pokes fun at Richard Thomas’ (John-Boy in The Waltons) facial mole. The film is set in 1977 – cue an awful, funky, wah-wah soundtrack that makes it even more difficult to watch. It’s supposed to be a buddy action comedy in the Lethal Weapon tradition. To be fair, it does try to be funny. Boy, does it try. Ryan Gosling turns every reaction into a hamfest while man-mountain Russell Crowe, here auditioning for the title role in The Incredible Hulk, effortlessly ruins every one-liner he’s given. Not that the script gives them much to work with. It makes the remake of Starsky and Hutch look good.

Obviously there’s a dumbed-down market for this sort of tedium because it did well in the States, but you’d be wise to check out the trailer before sitting through the whole wince-inducing package. One star for the female cast, especially Angouri Rice as a precocious 13yo who steals scenes like a young Hayley Mills or Jodie Foster.
