Cinephile No. 571 "The Nice Guys"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

So you've missed the Buddy Cop Comedy? May I recommend "The Nice Guys." It is hilarious from beginning to end, features sharp/witty dialogue, and the power to restore your faith in Hollywood's ability to write a funny script. Which to me is the biggest surprise from this film. For the past few years, I have found myself disappointed with Tinsel Town's comedy strength. The industry, it seems, has lost its power to string together a 2 hour, smart, funny movie. Just when all faith had escaped me, a movie like this comes along. From the opening credits to the final scene, I laughed, thought, and was left in suspense; all appreciated and all offering a sigh of relief. 

 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
