The Good Guy
Friday Night Plights of Unfancy
Official Website | Trailer & Mo
Oh, The Good Guy, how you try (not) so hard at being a legitimate movie, and at best, yer a poorly pieced together generic TV pilot that would never get picked up, not even on the CWUPNWB. And Good Guy, despite yer obvious plotting (girl with bad guy, doesn't realize it, good guy comes along...) + yer no frills acting (Alexis Bledel and Scott Porter), wooden acting (Bryan Greenberg), annoying acting (Anna Chlumsky and Aaron Yoo), and overacting (Andrew McCarthy), you still somehow overcame yer early eye-roll inducing ways and semi-charmed our pants 1/4 the ways down in the end, even more so than Valentine's Day did. How is that possible Good Guy when yer basically a dud? What's in yer magic hat of crap first time writer/director Julio DePietro? How'd you get us to pity yer poop and root for yer characters that we'd honestly rather see die in a kiln explosion? Some questions are best left unanswered, juss like some movies are best not ever seen
An Angel On Our Lista: movie's bad guy gets frisky with Christine Evangelista, and we'd like to do the same. maybe Christine was the only reason we sorta didn't fully hate this crud??
Verdictgo: Very Very Little Merit But No Stinkin Badges
