A good find!

Surprisingly funny and heartfelt, this is a nice story about two people who've lost faith in love. The rom-com is set in Kentucky, a refreshing change from the seemingly endless New York- and LA-based films of the same genre. Despite my unfamiliarity with the cast, I thought they were all very strong. A good find!

A fun flick about honesty and the dating game.

"Nice Guys..." tells of a 30-something male school teacher who is frustrated with dating because he follows the rules and always strikes out. Well, almost always. This little "sleeper" offers a fresh, honest, and amusing look at the foibles of first dates, doesn't try to out do itself, and knows when to quit. No blockbuster but an enjoyable watch worth renting.

Okay entertainment!

This movie is about the pre-dating period. Where people are analyzing each other to see if it is worth while to date after all. I guess everyone can identify with this movie. The nice guy "Carter William Sanderson" Sean O' Bryan (Frankie and Johnny ) is self doubting his own dating strategies. His friend " Pat " Blake Steury thinks that he has all the answers but his advice proves to be wrong but harmless. This movie is funny and I recommend it. Very funny. My favorite scenes: the two friends talking in the horse races. Everyone would like to have friends like that. The group of students watching horses in the stall.

a cute film with beautiful views

This is a cute and quirky film exploring the foibles of the dating scene.

It's an endearing look at the "nice guys" plight as he tries to find the one woman who is willing to be more than "just friends". I found myself cringing in embarressment as I have also probably treated some nice guys with the same friendly indifference. Not only is the story easy to identify with, it is set in the beautiful countryside of Kentucky. I found the cinematography breathtaking, complete with sweeping views of lush rolling hills and stunning horse farms. It's a beautifully shot film and a sweet story that has you rooting for the nice guy all the way!`

HRMkelly's roommate

Okay, I was drawn to this movie by the upheaval that my roommate caused when posting a poor review of this movie on this database. My roommate and I are polar opposites, and once again, this trend holds true. I loved the movie. After a second viewing, my roommate resent her original comment that this movie was one of the worst pieces of cinema she had ever viewed, but said that she was still bothered by the stereotypes of Kentuckians. While every view is valid, I just don't agree. (Please note that my roommate isn't even a native Kentuckian.) I loved seeing the Kentucky shots. It was a little piece of home right there on the screen. I love the characters, the message, and found it incredibly entertaining. I've seen it numerous times. Way to go Stu!
