One of my all time favorites.
Fresh and Exciting
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I should qualify this review by saying that Todd Rundgren's song `Can We Still Be Friends?' could have been the soundtrack to my adolescent years (and beyond). I was constantly being told by girls what a `nice guy' I was, and the whooshing noise that accompanied that phrase was the sound of those same girls leaving me to hook up with the closest `dangerous' type at whiplash speed. So I was prepared to be let down by Stu Pollard's film Nice Guys Sleep Alone. `He won't get it right', said I. `He'll never convey the true essence of what it's like to actually be that guy- that hopelessly romantic, kind of pathetic, basically very nice guy.' I was wrong. He got it right. Quite. Nice Guys Sleep Alone is a breath of light-hearted fresh air, and a high-five to all those guys- and gals- that have felt like suckers at one time or another for not being into games. Writer/Director Pollard has created an engaging, heartwarming, and above all, very funny story about love, relationships, and the games people play. His wit and comedic sensibilities are well served by a highly talented cast, and the chemistry and comedy of the characters drew me in instantly. Oh, and I fell in love with Sybil Temchen. Her character, Maggie, and Sean O'Bryan's character Carter are the reason we watch romantic comedies. They're perfect together, and you really want them to work things out. Pollard also knows a thing or two about what to do behind the camera, which is evident at once. Rumored to have been shot for under $900K, this looks like a multi-million dollar production. Watch the DVD version, and you'll learn that Pollard trimmed the story down substantially in order to quicken the pace and streamline the story. It's a task most directors face, but was probably all the more difficult, having been the screenwriter. But Pollard wanted to serve the story, and the audience. He did just that. Wonderfully. Nice Guys Sleep Alone is a great movie for anyone looking to feed their laugh-jones. Great for a first date, or a fifteen hundredth, this is a romantic comedy you don't want to miss.
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.
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!
Stu Pollard is an independent film maker who presents a quality product, good cast, good film quality - and lots of laughs. Definitely rent Nice Guys Sleep Alone if you are looking for a pleasant evening. This movie reminds us that it is a shame that big theaters don't give us access to the creative works of independent film makes.
