Believe the hype: The Nice Guys <\/em>is one of the best movies of the year.<\/p>\n

In fact, this is the funniest movie I have seen since What We Do in the Shadows<\/em>. Hilarious and irreverent, these nice guys finish first! Sorry. That\u2019s ridiculous. I\u2019m trying to perfect the Quotable One Liner with the hope to become the next Peter Travers. It\u2019s a tough gig to be that cheesy and asinine. Let me try one more time and then we can move on\u2026.<\/p>\n

The nice guys are the new bad boys of action comedy movies. Sorry Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.<\/p>\n

Ok. I read that back out loud and I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s even worse than \u201cthese nice guys finish first!\u201d It\u2019s upsetting. No one likes to feel like a failure. I\u2019ll just let that sit for a bit. Remind me to edit this out please.

\nBack on track\u2026 Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe play reluctant partners tasked with solving a missing daughter case.\u00a0 Gosling as Holland March drinks too much as he makes terrible life decisions while Crowe plays Jackson Healy, a strong arm with a demon-temper that clouds his judgement at inopportune times. \u00a0To keep the tone light, the pair is shadowed by Holland\u2019s daughter, Holly (Angourie Rice) who gets them out of more trouble than they are able to avoid without guidance.<\/p>\n

The Nice Guys<\/em> exudes chemistry between the actors. Writer\/Director Shane Black sets the pace around Gosling and Crowe at a wonderful clip and both players fit right into the groove. Black was known as wunderkind back in the mid-80\u2019s when he wrote the screenplay for Lethal Weapon<\/em> and this film captures that tone. He\u2019s rather gifted at writing deeply -flawed characters that you still want to root for. The Nice Guys <\/em>also holds a resemblance to Black\u2019s directorial debut, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang<\/em> but it doesn\u2019t feel as if he is repeating himself. What he\u2019s doing here is perfecting the Shane Black movie.<\/p>\n

Original and exhilarating, The Nice Guys <\/em>is the best thing going at the theaters and you are commanded to watch it.<\/p>\n

Wait! There it is. My Quotable One-liner. \u201c You are commanded to watch it.\u201d<\/p>\n

And look at it this way, here\u2019s your rare chance to see a movie that isn\u2019t about superheroes. That\u2019s worth the price of a ticket right there.<\/p>\n

Also, for your viewing enjoyment…..<\/p>\n
