This is one of those brilliant comedies that somehow fell through the cracks and never became a household name for Best Of lists. The pacing, acting, dialogue, scenery, all of it and then the laughs never stop as a bonus.

[@schroedingers_kotze]

It's a sadly overlooked and underrated masterpiece of private eye comedy, just like "Dead men don't wear plaid" (of course in a completely different style). Both films are hilarious, but you have to know the context they reference to truly appreciate them.

So true. When I saw this movie I was amazed that none of my friends had ever heard of it. It really did fall through the cracks and is one of my favorite movies.

[@Bar-Lord]

Oh man. This was one of the best surprises of 2016. When I saw Shane Black was behind it, I was sold. It’s criminally how few went to see it. If this was your cup of tea, look up Shane Black’s other films as he has a specific kind of vibe he brings to his work.

Btw, i've spent a few days watching a lot of your other reactions, and you are skyrocketing to the top tier list of reactors imo. So wholesome, warm, heartfelt, joyful and genuine, and you've moved me (and many others, i reckon) to laughter and tears many times during these days. The way you catch up on things as well is also a great factor to why it feels so great to watch your videos.

[@maximillianosaben]

A couple of movies before this, Shane Black also wrote and directed Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. It is the spiritual predecessor to this movie, and they serve as sort of sibling films as they feel very similar but are entirely seperate. It's a must watch for anyone who enjoyed this movie ( if anything, I would say this movie should have been watched second).

[@JediS1138]

I love that movie too!! Didn’t know they were the same director 😮 Makes so much sense now lol

[@christophercurtis4131]

Shane Black, who co-wrote the screenplay and directed this movie, was also one of the writers for the Lethal Weapon film series. He also played the part of Hawkins in the original Predator from 1987. And the guy who you thought looked like Stan Lee is actor Gil Gerard. When I was a little boy in the 70's, he played the title role in the science fiction series Buck Rogers In The 25th Century.

If anyone is interested, Shane Black also wrote the movies The Long Kiss Goodnight, Last Boy Scout, Lethal Weapon, and Last Action Hero. They were all directed by different people, but they still have some of the same DNA as The Nice Guys and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

20:29 - 20:31 Fun fact: The part where Gosling throws the pistol at Crowe and Crowe misses is actually a humorous nod to a very similar scene in L.A. Confidential. However, in L.A. Confidential he actually catches the gun thrown by Guy Pearce. The blocking of the characters especially with Crowe on the ground against the wall as well as the pistol being thrown to Crowe by a partner who is standing is an unmistakable nod to the earlier L.A. Confidential. Pretty cool!

This movie is criminally underrated. It is easily one of the funniest, most well written movies in the last decade and definitely the best buddy type movie. The writer and director, Shane Black, has written and/or directed and/or had roles in a few of the best films ever made and is one of the top talents in Hollywood. The reason this film reminds you of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is because Shane Black also wrote and directed that. That movie is also underrated and, like The Nice Guys, should be in many more conversations about the best comedy movies of all time and best buddy movies. I can't decide which film I like better, but I think it might be The Nice Guys by a bit because Angourie Rice tips the scales. I new the minute I saw The Nice Guys it was clear that she was a major talent (with the chops to hold her own and be funny in her own right in a comedy with two A-list actors - something very not easy to pull off) and hopefully has a very bright acting future in front of her. Anyway, nice reaction.
