      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Good Guy has an attractive cast, but they aren't done any favors by the film's cardboard characters and cliched plot.

      anthony m Didn't finish it. You quickly hate all the characters Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Josie W Loved to see a handful of teen drama stars fresh out of their tv prime being thrown into an incoherent roller coaster of a plot with no depth, no direction, and hardly a clue how to make it feel like... anything. I'll give it one thing though; it has mastered the art of making a fairly short watch feel very, very long. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review dave j Co-produced, written and directed by Julio DePietro with the movie opens with a young man ringing on the door of a girl's apartment who is with another guy. And by the time the girl decides to come downstairs, she then hands him some money and says she pities him. He walks away sulking. At this point viewers do not know what kind of relationship this is but on the next scene the movie steps back 6 weeks earlier. And as it turns out, the guy that was banging on the door is really an wall street trader, Tommy (Scott Porter) and that the girl "was" his girlfriend Beth(Alexis Bledel) as we see how they first met which he saw her at a book club. And as the movie continues, we are then introduced to someone of an introvert named Daniel (Bryan Greenberg) the third person who was at her apartment at the beginning. Apparently, Tommy was looking for another man since the previous insider wall street trader left for another firm who was offering more money, and Tommy was given the task of finding anther replacement to fill in the gap so to speak. So when Tommy and his friends are hanging out at a pub, it is when he meets Daniel as a server and offers him a better job as a insider trader. Spoil And it is during then we also see Tommy's affairs with other women even though he already has a girlfriend named Beth who she seems to have more in common with Daniel than the current boyfriend she is dating. What ends up happening she bumps into one of Tommy's ex's and learns she is still sleeping with her. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Seppure nel complesso questa commedia romantica non sia malvagia, sono troppi gli aspetti poco originali al suo interno. Inspiegabile poi la scelta di utilizzare come prima scena, le immagini che fanno già capire la direzione del film; tolgono quel poco di gusto e di brio che ci sarebbe potuto essere altrimenti. E basta stereotipare gli agenti di borsa. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review steve d Bledel is good the script is extremely bad, slow moving, and not remotely romantic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible. I wish I hadn't wasted the time it took to watch this. The script could have been written by a 2nd grader it's so predictable. I can't even put into words just how much I absolutely despise this movie. In all honesty it's probably the worst movie I've ever seen. How did any production company allow such a god awful idea to be brought to life? If you enjoy this movie you're probably just a simp with no ambition who only looks forward to vicariously living through hopeless movies like this one.

      David Fear Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe It's network television drama, starring actors best known for their TV work and full of the petty gripes and mild worries of characters who really have nothing compelling to worry about. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 4, 2010 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It has smart characters, and is wise about the ones who try to tame their intelligence by acting out. Rated: 3/4 Mar 4, 2010 Full Review Dave White Movies.com Rated: 2/5 Apr 4, 2011 Full Review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media High-reaching adult drama with lots of language, drinking. Rated: 2/5 Dec 31, 2010 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Mild, pleasant, obvious romantic comedy set on Wall Street that's most notable for its (maybe accurate) portrayal of young brokers as amoral idiots oblivious to the real-life consequences of their risky business. Rated: 83/100 Jul 3, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
