      Audience Member Well, this would be my first rotten tomatoes review, and is, as of now, the only review for this movie, I won't mind if you, my dear reader, completely disregards this. The Good Humor Man is a slower paced movie about living the high time sophomore life in the nineteen seventies. The movie centers around Jay and his band of buddies, including Smelly Bob and the brick wall of a kid known as Mount Rushmore. What I can say about this movie is that it is for sure, really just about life. It doesn't catapult you in with any action scenes and it doesn't have any kind of emotional spin, save that of drab everyday live, with a few violent twists thrown in. So, check it out, order a couple pizzas, call some buddies, maybe throw a stoner in the mix, and enjoy a mellow saturday night. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie, it was definitely different then most I've seen, and some unexpected things occur also. Good stuff, I gave this movie a 7 for really good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Nathan Stevens does a terrific job and is very well cast. More interesting than I was expecting, good story and a nice feel for the 1970's. Believably done, well written, and always interesting. Very well developed characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand why everyone thinks this is awesome Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member just ok period piece Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The film feels like it was made in the early 90's or late 80's. It's almost like someone took really old film equipment and decided to make a film with it. The picture itself is really something to look at. Where it lacks is the editing process that went into it. It really did feel like somewhat of a first draft of a film. Otherwise, this is about as raw and natural as an independant film can come. It is quite the serious piece of work and does have some mildly amusing elements to add come comedic elements. This story does feel quite real for the most part, though and is very well acted in most places. This is quite the find, and thanks to my friend Kristina, I now have a copy of it.
