Best movie of this year hands down!

Too much of everything

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Counted down the seconds for this release and after watching felt very rewarded. The characters are perfectly executed and the world is wonderfully crafted so each shot is strangely beautiful. A 70's set buddy cop comedy/action film unravelling a conspiracy in the world of Adult entertainment Shane Black's film is truly marvellous. Brisk, touching and emotional (surprisingly) and satisfying to sit through I can't recommend more

Yaay, girls screeching at men, "tough guys" beating up rude men but giving obnoxious women a pass, double-standards all over, and of course - hippies "haha so funny" because it's the 70's, right?No, it's garbage, and a waste of time. The main two actors did make a decent duo, and the non-Crowe one is a good comedic actor, probably the only good thing in this movie.But overall it was a waste of time, the plot was unengaging and only some of the slapstick humor worked. Most of the movie was just frustrating double-standards at play and boring Crowe talking with his fantastic emotional range of a saltshaker.And don't forget, hurting men is funny! But women get a pass even when they shoot at you. And comedy is dead - that's the lesson of this movie.

In this age where every modern movie is a sequel or based on something else, it's great that we have a look at something brand new. This is one of the best comedies in recent years and everyone seems to agree with me. I'm reminded of what made films like "Hot Shots: Part Deux" so funny was because the main characters play the goofy series straight. That's exactly what Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling do here. We get our first great joke of the movie when a car crashes through a house. What's great is that there's so much going on in this movie.You just have no idea what will show up next. The one moment that really made me jump in my seat was when a giant bee appeared in the backseat! It's a dream, by the way. There's all sorts of jokes used here, although slapstick comes off as the most prominent. The weird thing is that I saw the first half of this movie on an airplane. I was watching this weird edited version for some reason. Why would a movie shown on an airplane screen be edited? You're the only one who hears it! The few moments where the characters yell are especially funny because they're usually so calm. It's hard to make a good comedy two hours long, but they have enough jokes to support the whole running time. I wish this movie had become as popular as something like "Borat". It might just be the funniest film of this entire decade. ****

It's been a very, very long time since a movie like this has hit the theatres. Typically, I often find that (especially action and romance movies) in movies there is something missing. I can't put my finger on it exactly but they aren't the same as what they used to be, and not made the way they used to be. With that in mind I was pleasantly surprised with The Nice Guys. This movie brings back the action police-mafia-chase that we all missed. Character backstory somewhat lacks compared to what we've become used to, but that is all fine because it puts more attention to the mystery at hand. The plot is the main point, and it follows the characters who are dealing with it. Ryan Gosling and Russel Crow have amazing chemistry and it's refreshing to watch them. Borderline slapstick comedy at times, good stunts, and an engaging plot line. Put simply, it's as if Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run had a baby.
