Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

evanston_dad Was this movie made in 1985? And shouldn't it star Molly Ringwald?Though set in the present day world of hip, young urbanites, "The Good Guy" is the movie John Hughes might have made if he'd moved his stories of teen angst out of the Chicago suburbs and into the middle of Manhattan. O.k., so the kids in this film are at least five or so years out of their teens, but the kids who starred as the teens in Hughes' films weren't really teens either, so the comparison stands.Alexis Bledel basically plays Rory Gilmore, picking up her story where the T.V. series "The Gilmore Girls" left off. She's a conscientious young do-gooder with some kind of job having to do with conservation. Her boyfriend is a Wall Street hot shot who only cares about money. Enter Bryan Greenberg, playing the new guy on her boyfriend's team, who thinks he wants to be a Wall Street shark but is far too sensitive and quiet to make it. We know he's meant to be with Bledel, because his favorite book is "Pride and Prejudice" and he's awkward with girls."The Good Guy" is almost hopelessly young and hits its notes with all the subtlety of an episode of "Melrose Place." But it has a great message to relate about life priorities, and I found it refreshing for once to find a movie in which the character of the old (32) married guy is the happiest character in the film.My wife and I did a lot of chuckling at "The Good Guy," but I admit that it won me over. And one wonders if the makers of this movie weren't more aware than I'm giving them credit for of how much it plays like an '80s teeny-bopper film, because there's good old Andrew McCarthy, not playing the dreamy heroes he used to, but rather a foul-mouthed obnoxious boss.Grade: B+

Gordon-11 This film is about a successful young man working in Wall Street. His love life is put into jeopardy when he tries to be helpful by hiring a nerd for his sales team."The Good Guy" is an enjoyable and captivating drama about urban lives of young people. It has very good character development. Their work, social and love lives are portrayed in an ordinary and believable manner that makes them so real. They could have been people we know around us, and viewers can relate to them easily. All three lead actors and actresses sculpt their characters in an authentic manner. The way the characters change as the film progresses is also very interesting. This makes the story even more engaging, as viewers are left to wonder what will happen to them.

napierslogs "The Good Guy" is a relationship drama. You would be forgiven if you assumed it was yet another twenty-something girl trying to sort out her love life and career in a romantic comedy. You would be forgiven for thinking that, but you would also be wrong. It's actually better than that.The film is driven by three characters, all of them completely fleshed-out and three-dimensional. Not one of them is central, but all of them individually and triangularly. The film continuously surprises in very subtle ways. The characters are better written than first appears, and even when the film tells you the characters will surprise you, it still comes as a surprise.I was expecting a film about Beth - a very standard, trying to find herself story. What makes it better than that is the fact that it's a drama - I am hard-pressed to name a similar film without comedy undertones or overtones. This is a drama - dark and sombre."The Good Guy" may not be for everybody but it is a good twenty-somethings relationship story told through drama instead of comedy. In the film, Beth complains about a novel that she read where half-way through the narrator turns out to be unreliable. "What's the point of that?" she asks. Daniel responds "Well isn't that life? It surprises you." Indeed it does. "The Good Guy" may be just like life, dramatic, and it surprises you.

mayylalaa93 Basically, it's about a Wall Street guy named Tom Fielding (Scott Porter) who's dating Alexis Bledel's character, Beth. She's too stupid to realize that he is cheating on her, despite her bitter girlfriends warning her over and over again. Tom has a new employee, Daniel Seaver (Bryan Greenberg) who does not have a personality, so he teaches him how to be a successful trader on Wall Street. Beth and Daniel have a spark. They get together in the end when she realizes that the successful Wall Street guy is a dirty cheater and has been since forever.OH! But there's a twist! The beginning is actually the end. How clever.Oh and Tom turns out to be the bad guy. Throw in an Asian and a black guy to spice things up, so they wouldn't be criticized for no diversity. Well, got that covered, now how about the script...I could not stop banging my head with my palm because every line made me shiver. Every line was just another cliché line. It's a horrible "romantic" flick filled with the lines of every other romantic Hollywood movie. Characters weren't developed well enough. Hell, they weren't developed at all, so there was really nothing to this film. I did not feel any connection between the characters. They tried to show the comfortable relationships that surround the group of friends with constant cursing. It shouldn't be rated R because there wasn't any sexual content that was unbearable; there were no naked bodies and aside from the cursing, there was nothing insane. Glad it was a short hour and 37 minutes. AND DON'T EVEN TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR CONVERSATIONS. THEY'RE NOT UNDERSTANDABLE.And Bryan Greenberg is too good to be on this piece of sh-t. He was on One Tree Hill, damn it. As for the others, I do not give a ...Gilmore Girls suxxxx.
