    Is it a sign ... or just a movie?

    Nice Guys Sleep Alone takes what is wrong about dating and turns it into something funny and very entertaining. "Let's be friends" is that dreaded line that no guy wants to hear. When Sean says that he doesn't need anymore friends ... he was speaking for every guy that has ever been in that position. A very funny movie which everyone would enjoy seeing. And, even learn a little about what life is like being a "nice guy."

    Accurate Look at Dating with satirical footnotes

    Director Stu Pollard did an excellent job in capturing the worst about dating, especially for nice guys. With so very few true gentlemen left women begin to expect less from their boyfriend and more from their friends. Therefore, the ones who actually do measure up end up being put into the "higher than boyfriend" category of friend.

    I was always stunned with the response of "you are they kind of guys women marry, but not date." Carter's confusion and frustration have been felt by many, unfortunately there aren't too many Maggies in the world either. A woman who truly appreciates a romantic, traditional, gentleman, without practicing wedding vows over the first date.

    Besides a few improvements that will come from another project, Stu Pollard should be praised on his first feature length film. The Louisville area was shot beautifully, the race scenes at Churchill downs, the horse farms, and the cityscape and local charm of many local hot-spots was an added bonus for anyone familiar with Louisville.

    OOOOOOHH MY GOD!!

    Being from Louisville and having met the director, who is in fact a really nice guy, I thought I'd really dig this movie just for the sheer pride of my city. OH MY SWEET CHRIST!!! This is probably one of the most ridiculously, embarassingly horrible movies ever committed to celluloid! I watched it in the privacy of my own home and was still cringing and looking around to see if anybody was watching me watch this movie. I don't think we could fit any more tired, ineffective cliches and dialogue into a film if we tried. Don't get me wrong...I love when people make the effort to make films but JESUS...PLEASE!!!!!

    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.

    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!`
