Shane Black's The Nice Guys

Who found the kid annoying? I thought she was good! One I read that likened her to Penny from Inspector Gadget, which is kind of right on.

*One REVIEW

This was a good time. I might rewatch KKBB again to compare but I liked it, I didn't feel any inclination to put it in a bracket up against its lol-terrible California PI brethren. It's no Long Goodbye but what is?

I loved the car in the opening scene, I liked the elevator ride to the penthouse and back, and I liked the daughter quite a bit.

i just watched this, too -- pretty fun

It was really just a lesser KKBB but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

decent way to spend two hours on a plane. i could pick it apart (especially gosling, crowe otoh was excellent) but i'd prefer to focus on the fact that it had some of the best action movie sight gags i've seen in years. the rotating car thing and the tree getting shot were worthy heirs to the best of that stuff in the naked gun films.

The worst thing I can say for it, a year later, is that it and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang have pretty much completely blurred together in my mind.

this really seems of a piece with kiss kiss bang bang to me, except not as good.

i would rewatch it if it were available on a flight i was on

i thought gosling was good. i like gosling tho

Gosling is vg in this

It suffers from Black's lack of narrative discipline but the high points are always gonna be worth it

i didnt like this at all when i watched it 5 years ago

rewatched today & thought it was great. the jokes were great, i laughed my ass off. i liked the rockford nods with the $200 a day & the newspaper ad… plus this time around i def found it kinda rockfordy in general, confidently stumbling into a huge case & accidentally kinda solving it but still losing

i guess i just needed to have enjoyed the Rockford Files to get more out if it 🤷🏻‍♀️

oh and the gun in the coffee jar! also v Rockford
