imboden My wife and I rented NICE GUYS SLEEP ALONE, and it was a wonderful surprise--an undiscovered gem that sparkled for both of us. It had winning characters, a story line that was clever without being gimmicky, great dialogue (with a few laugh-out-loud lines), appealing actors who seemed perfectly cast, and production values that were far above the level of the typical small indy film.

summersgill 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!!!!!

hrmkelly I am a reformed Nice Guys viewer. After a little coaxing and a bit of artistic explanation, I was encouraged to give Nice Guys a second chance. I just viewed the movie for a second time and I must admit that it's a pretty charming movie. It's still not the best film I've ever encountered but it's certainly not the worst. There are HIGHLY exaggerated stereotypes of Kentuckians but I can now appreciate them for their comic value. Overall, I have to say my initial impression was off base. Nice Guys Sleep Alone grows on you.

FlickJunkie-2 The best comedy comes from simple truths about life. ‘Nice Guys' captures so many of the essential truths about the dating game that, despite its shortcomings, it is extremely entertaining.Carter (Sean O'Bryan) is a really nice guy. He is such a nice guy that women are dying to be his friend. At least that is what they all tell him at the end of the first date. Maggie (Sybil Temchen) is a New York veterinarian who is starting over in Louisville, Kentucky working on a thoroughbred horse farm. With the dubious guidance of his best friend, Carter asks Maggie for a date, and the fun begins.The movie is peppered with vignettes about dating and the games the sexes plays. What makes it funny is that it is all so true, and without much exaggeration. There are quite a few good sight gags and liberal guffaws throughout.This was a low budget independent production written and directed by Stu Pollard in his first attempt at both. The writing was honest and insightful, but uneven. At times, the dialogue was terrific; sharp, biting humor the captured the essence of this absurd ritual called dating. At other times it was gut wrenching drivel. The same was true of the cinematography. He had some beautiful shots of Kentucky, and then other shots were set up all wrong.The acting was about what you would expect from third tier actors. Sean O'Bryan was nice enough, but so bland that one might suspect that he was boring his dates into friendship. He did exude great sincerity though, which worked very well with his character. Sybil Temchen was the best actor in the film and seemed very confident in her role. She was strong and self-assured in her role as the vet, but confused and uncertain in dating mode.Overall, this was a pleasant surprise for a film with untested talent and limited resources. I rated it a 7/10. It is a fun movie with something for just about everyone who has ever been on a date as an adult. At some point you may even find yourself saying, `Yeah, that happened to me too.'
