The Nice Guys

I still remember watching this at like 12 years old  at a sleepover at a friends house. I wasn’t allowed to watch R Rated movies at the time, so this was incredible to young me. I had seen it a good amount of times over the years, and it’s still funny every time. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are the obvious highlights. Without them, this movie would’ve crashed and burned. When it comes to comedy movies, I am very generous, but this movie earns its five stars. I believe that this is a comedic masterpiece. Alongside being funny, the plot is very entertaining, and it has some really fun twists and turns along the way. The action is fun. The ending shootout, the shootout outside the house, the fight at the party, etc., it is really fun to watch. The comedy is great. It’s just naturally funny. The jokes don’t try to force laughter, but rather have moments made by the two leads acting. The look of this film is also great. The 70s LA aesthetic is super pleasing, and makes me wish I could’ve lived in it. The outfits, locations(especially that house at the party), the music, everything is beautiful. I don’t care what anyone says, this is a top tier comedy movie.
