"Nice Guys..." tells of a 30-something male school teacher who is frustrated with dating because he follows the rules and always strikes out. Well, almost always. This little "sleeper" offers a fresh, honest, and amusing look at the foibles of first dates, doesn't try to out do itself, and knows when to quit. No blockbuster but an enjoyable watch worth renting.

I came across this movie on HBO the other night and was pleasantly surprised. Not only because it was filmed in my home town, but also because it was a well-made, enjoyable film. I will definitely buy the video.

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.

Director Stu Pollard did an excellent job in capturing the worst about dating, especially for nice guys. With so very few true gentlemen left women begin to expect less from their boyfriend and more from their friends. Therefore, the ones who actually do measure up end up being put into the "higher than boyfriend" category of friend.I was always stunned with the response of "you are they kind of guys women marry, but not date." Carter's confusion and frustration have been felt by many, unfortunately there aren't too many Maggies in the world either. A woman who truly appreciates a romantic, traditional, gentleman, without practicing wedding vows over the first date.Besides a few improvements that will come from another project, Stu Pollard should be praised on his first feature length film. The Louisville area was shot beautifully, the race scenes at Churchill downs, the horse farms, and the cityscape and local charm of many local hot-spots was an added bonus for anyone familiar with Louisville.
