Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

lobotomyboy63 I'm giving this movie a 7 because I like what it tried to do. It had some funny bits and other redeeming qualities. The buddy's cynical, ironic take on matters (like his coaching for the phone call) were possibly my favorite parts. They seemed true-to-life and humorous, when you think about it. I don't feel like I totally wasted my money or time on the film but I had higher hopes for it. I wasn't convinced by the two principal female characters.**Spoilers follow**Sometimes there's a point in a movie where I disconnect and the rest of the movie can't rise beyond a certain level after that. 1) The moment where Maggie breaks up with the drinker would be that moment in this film. If she knew he was such a lush, if he really didn't interest her, etc. then... A) Why "take a rain check"? B) Why say, "If you gave up the drinking, maybe this could work" or whatever?She didn't seem that charmed, enamored, starry-eyed, or anything else up till that point. My cynical reaction: he has money and if he just quit drinking, she'd give him a chance. If he drank but DIDN'T have money, she probably wouldn't have allowed for the rain check etc.2) When he sends her flowers (at the friend's house) and they appear in the kitchen with brass knuckles, gun, etc.---that just didn't work, didn't work in spades. I viewed that as, "We had the same chance, decided to ignore the drinking, and how dare he..." because after all, they talked about how he was so eligible and all that when the flowers arrived.It's themselves they should be blaming. Maggie called a spade a spade and he balked; she got off easy.3) Maggie dissed Carter twice. First, she flipped him off (thinking he was Rufus's kid) and second, when she yelled on the phone, thinking he was the rich guy. Then they end up together? I don't think so. His self-esteem and/or pride won't allow it, and she isn't going to respect him for it.I'll give it a 7. More realistic than most, but it still falls very short.

Mark Hancock (martinifan) I should qualify this review by saying that Todd Rundgren's song `Can We Still Be Friends?' could have been the soundtrack to my adolescent years (and beyond). I was constantly being told by girls what a `nice guy' I was, and the whooshing noise that accompanied that phrase was the sound of those same girls leaving me to hook up with the closest `dangerous' type at whiplash speed. So I was prepared to be let down by Stu Pollard's film Nice Guys Sleep Alone. `He won't get it right', said I. `He'll never convey the true essence of what it's like to actually be that guy- that hopelessly romantic, kind of pathetic, basically very nice guy.' I was wrong. He got it right. Quite. Nice Guys Sleep Alone is a breath of light-hearted fresh air, and a high-five to all those guys- and gals- that have felt like suckers at one time or another for not being into games. Writer/Director Pollard has created an engaging, heartwarming, and above all, very funny story about love, relationships, and the games people play. His wit and comedic sensibilities are well served by a highly talented cast, and the chemistry and comedy of the characters drew me in instantly. Oh, and I fell in love with Sybil Temchen. Her character, Maggie, and Sean O'Bryan's character Carter are the reason we watch romantic comedies. They're perfect together, and you really want them to work things out. Pollard also knows a thing or two about what to do behind the camera, which is evident at once. Rumored to have been shot for under $900K, this looks like a multi-million dollar production. Watch the DVD version, and you'll learn that Pollard trimmed the story down substantially in order to quicken the pace and streamline the story. It's a task most directors face, but was probably all the more difficult, having been the screenwriter. But Pollard wanted to serve the story, and the audience. He did just that. Wonderfully. Nice Guys Sleep Alone is a great movie for anyone looking to feed their laugh-jones. Great for a first date, or a fifteen hundredth, this is a romantic comedy you don't want to miss.

donslittlesis Okay, I was drawn to this movie by the upheaval that my roommate caused when posting a poor review of this movie on this database. My roommate and I are polar opposites, and once again, this trend holds true. I loved the movie. After a second viewing, my roommate resent her original comment that this movie was one of the worst pieces of cinema she had ever viewed, but said that she was still bothered by the stereotypes of Kentuckians. While every view is valid, I just don't agree. (Please note that my roommate isn't even a native Kentuckian.) I loved seeing the Kentucky shots. It was a little piece of home right there on the screen. I love the characters, the message, and found it incredibly entertaining. I've seen it numerous times. Way to go Stu!

dave303 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.
