What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Yaay, girls screeching at men, "tough guys" beating up rude men but giving obnoxious women a pass, double-standards all over, and of course - hippies "haha so funny" because it's the 70's, right?No, it's garbage, and a waste of time. The main two actors did make a decent duo, and the non-Crowe one is a good comedic actor, probably the only good thing in this movie.But overall it was a waste of time, the plot was unengaging and only some of the slapstick humor worked. Most of the movie was just frustrating double-standards at play and boring Crowe talking with his fantastic emotional range of a saltshaker.And don't forget, hurting men is funny! But women get a pass even when they shoot at you. And comedy is dead - that's the lesson of this movie.

This abortion of a film represents everything that is awful about Hollywood today. Obviously directed by some 20-something, spoiled brat who thought that showing kids using four letter words and being sexual, would make this piece of crap "edgy." Well it doesn't. Pathetic jokes that flop, and desperate attempts to shock with pointless nudity, are what this film is all about. Supposedly set in the 70's it even fails at that; the movie looks patently 2016. It tries to be sexy and comes across as pathetic. I'm sure this one scored points at frat houses throughout America. As a fan of everything 70's, this movie made me kind of sick. Definitely the worst thing Gosling has ever attached himself too, and Russell Crowe's career remains firmly in the toilet with this one. The saddest thing is the high score this thing has; has the intelligence level of the masses really declined this much? So sad..

'The Nice Guys (2016)' is an under-seen gem from Shane Black, a 'buddy-cop' detective comedy with a seventies setting and an eighties sensibility. It is highly entertaining throughout, with funny dialogue that feels natural to the characters, a well-told central mystery, an unconventional plot, a few genuinely laugh-out-loud moments and some great realistic action. It is a blast from beginning to end, one that only gets better on a second viewing. This is easily one of the most enjoyable films of 2016. 8/10

I've seen a lot of bad reviews from this film, but absolutely loved it. Right from the first time I saw the trailer I was thrilled and the movie delivered. Gosling and Crowe have surprisingly good chemistry and in fact it may be my favourite Russell Crowe film behind Gladiator. If you enjoy a good buddy comedy, don't miss out on this sure to be classic one day.
