Critics Consensus

The Nice Guys hearkens back to the buddy comedies of a bygone era while adding something extra courtesy of a knowing script and the irresistible chemistry of its leads.

Even though I hate the director for the Predator movie (2018), this movie is good. The humor, the chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe, the action and the memorable moments. What I do complain about is one thing, the girl. The blonde girl is what's left over, she's irritating at certain points and if you remove her from the script nothing would happen. But hey, it also has funny moments. Highly recommended.

hahahaha So funny! Great chemistry by the leads and the youngsters in the film were terrific too. The party scene alone is worth the price of admission as is the 1970's sound track. Me likey!

It was a pretty straightforward plot. Nice story build-up. Liked most of the characters except kind of Ryan Gosling's character. I thought it was a bit annoying in both kind of a good way and a bad way, but that doesn't affect the story at all. Overall, I really liked the movie, and it was enjoyable. Good work.

(Crowe and Gosling are brilliant together in something that sends up their tough guy images.

The Ringer

What's memorable about The Nice Guys is the crew of not-so-nice kids: the 12- through 18-year-olds who seem remarkably unbothered when bumping heads with coke-addled pornographers.

Financial Times

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are a good match in The Nice Guys. But writer-director Shane Black's screenplay seldom strikes fire.

Rated: 3/5

Puesta en Escena (AR)

One of the characters is apparently the talented one and the other, the unsuccessful one. However, an alternation will occur. Consequently, the conjunction of two opposite but complementary male characters is a style of the director.

Rated: 9/10

Vague Visages

You have these flat-lines in what is largely a very amusing detective story where dead air sort of takes centre stage for a few minutes every so often, in part because there’s not always something else going on in the surrounding atmosphere to distract...

[Shane] Black likes his characters and loves the genre and that's enough to make the tribute / pastiche / affection parody work.
