Why This Ryan Gosling Film Wasn't Allowed A Sequel

[@BigFudge612]

Hands down one of the most underrated comedies of the 2010’s that doubles pretty damn well as a top notch buddy cop movie. Gosling and Crowe rock together

[@ludwigvan3649]

It's SUCH A GOOD MOVIE! I saw it, almost by accident, in theatre. To this day best spontaneous movie decision ever. Than I watched it again recently and honestly, I remembered, it was fun, but I surely underestimated HOW good it is. And yeah, it's a bit of a dilemma. On one side, I wish they would make another one, I want more of this, like with Lethal Weapon. But on the other hand: Maybe it should just be this one movie and not become another franchise/universe.

Ryan to me is at his best in a comedy. He’s a great dramatic actor but there’s something inherently hilarious about him. I think he was the class clown how got to become a movie star.

I don't read up a lot bout Ryan cause I hardly know which source to trust especially when it comes to his personal things but I imagine being a guy as talented as him and obviously attractive, I think if people in school wanted to give him a bad time, some of it could stem from jealousy?

[@kevinm1734]

The Nice Guys also had one of my all time favorite performances of a child character in Holly. She was so endearing, sincere and funny in the movie without feeling like an adult written into a child's body or a kid played by an adult. Angourie Rice also had fantastic chemistry with the two leads

[@jacobsweet7327]

I think her role and the way she was written makes sense as well, her dad can't take care of himself, she drives him everywhere, cooks for him, reminds him of chores and events coming up. she had to mature a lot faster than kids her age. I always read her as a kid who thinks that because she stepped up like she did, she is an adult. Which I feel a lot of teenagers that age go through a similar phase in life. so her acting like an adult, and not really being phased by some of the adult things going on around her to me always made sense.

ryan gosling is one of those actors that really becomes the character. i’ve watched almost all of his films and i’ve never once felt like i was watching ryan gosling the actor. he makes it so easy to lose yourself in whatever movie he’s in because his acting is just that seamless. are there any other films like the nice guys? i watched kiss kiss bang bang and i enjoyed it as well.

This was such a great movie. Massively underrated. It’s a shame there hasn’t been a sequel yet. Thanks for doing this video 👏

[@midknightgeek6629]

That's awesome that he mentioned Abbot & Costello, because at about 15min in to Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Lou sees the candle on the coffin move and "tries" to whistle for Abbot/Bud...a scene that Gosling mimicked when finding the dead body after taking his tumble over the party house balcony. A scene that I recognized instantly since I was (still am) a huge fan of the Abbott and Costello films growing up. Never seen anyone mention the similarities before, but hearing him say he was a fan, I know that it was an intentional homage to Lou Costello's comic genius. And gotta say, that arm break scream that Gosling does gets me every time! Brilliantly done, perfect! Thanks for reviewing this severely under-rated gem of a movie! It might be a long shot but maybe if all involved want a sequel, maybe just maybe it can happen! I sincerely hope so!

I have to agree except Barbie, for me was shockingly bad, oh my. Didn’t make me laugh, it surprises me that so many people rate it.

@@mmumambientsounds-timers People rate it highly because it's a trend people follow with no personal rhyme or reason but to "fit in."

The high quality daily uploads is impressive thank you

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys are two of the greatest comedies of the 21st century, and criminally underrated. So few people have heard of them, and yet everyone I've ever recommended them to has had nothing but positive feedback. The Nice Guys' commercial failure is one of the biggest tragedies in recent movie history. Re the Ian Fleming thing, they actually used the line as the basis for the best Bond theme that never was- Shirley Bassey's Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was eventually replaced by Tom Jones' Thunderball (an instrumental arrangement can still be heard in the movie)

[@gsisemore]

There is absolutely no question in my mind that Gosling was his funniest in The Big Short. He is an incredibly versatile actor and I am glad that he is now getting his recognition post Barbie for this.

[@jansmith286]

It becomes increasingly apparent that so many film makers in Hollywood have no idea about what is quality. There are endless remakes of superhero films and car chase films but that only caters to a niche population. In reality, the cinema-going audience could be more diverse if a wider range of films were commissioned but the studios won't take sufficient risks. Last year, post pandemic, there were a large number of films that tempted me to watch them at the cinema, in 2023 far fewer. The Nice Guys is a perfect gem. It appeals to all ages (I'm 66) and types of people. It has wit and heart and is not formulaic. As a period piece it is perfect.

[@madferit1987]

You’re telling me that one guy did: Lethal weapon The last boyscout The last action hero Kiss kiss bang bang And The nice guys?!!! These are all crazy entertaining and re-watchable movies. Just wow!

[@philm0graphy]

All of the trailers said "from the Director of Iron Man 3," personally, I think that it would have been more enticing to see "from the writer of Lethal Weapon"

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

Shane Black's "The Nice Guys" fits in as a highlight in a period L.A. slacker noir marathon with The Coen Bros' "Big Lebowski", Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", and PT Anderson's "Inherent Vice". For an even more acid noirish fun time, throw in Terry Gilliam's "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" and Oliver Stone's "U-Turn". Maybe even graduate to Tony Scott's "Domino", Joe Carnahan's "Smokin' Aces", and Michael Bay's "Pain & Gain" to top off a full weakend of gonzo crime farces.

The Nice Guys is a rare example of a perfect movie, we all have our favorite films we watch from time to time but then we get up and go about our day. The nice guys is different however. I can watch this film repeatedly on loop and be just as entertained if not even more so the more i watch it. Its up there with the likes of Shawshank redemption or The Departed or Goodfellas and Seven Psychopaths. Its a warcrime we never got a sequel to this movie. If i woke up tomorrow a billionaire i'd fund a sequel myself.

[@Darkstar77_1]

This and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", are some of the most underrated films out there. Absolute gold, both of them. It really should get a sequel of sorts. I imagine Gosling and Crow both had a good time making it. I genuinely miss films like this, properly enjoyable buddy pieces. Anyone stumbling onto my comment, check out John Woo's "The Killer", which is also an amazing buddy movie, though without the comedy. Well, much less comedy.

The fact that the critics gave this a higher score than the audience is wild. Usually the only time that ever happens is if the movie is super niche and trying to be smarter than it actually is.

Everyone complains that Hollywood only makes reboots and sequels, but when gems like this come out nobody shows any love! One of the best buddy cop movies ever made.

[@DoogleLawless]

I always think of Michael Cane in The Muppets Christmas Carol when it comes to actors who took a film outside of their norm, though I guess it isn't so much a shift in his style, since he played it as straight faced as if he were acting with humans. Bryan Cranston is another notable one, though obviously he made the opposite transition of hilarious and slapstick comedy to Walter White. This film was amazing though. I knew with the scene with Ryan Gosling slicing his arm open, that I was in for a really special comedy. As they say, comedy is very often misery for the main characters.

This is a great movie with good trama, natural jokes and two amazing actors giving live perfectly to some random dudes.

I love The Nice Guys! I sort of stumbled upon it by accident while looking for something to watch during the pandemic, and then mentally kicked myself for not having watched it sooner. It was superb comedy and had great chemistry between Gosling and Crowe that made their partnership entertaining to watch. That recommendation to set it in the 70s was a stroke of genius too, because it gave the story that needed level of seediness and gives the movie added stakes because all of the evidence is exclusively on physical copies, not digital or easily replicated. Other great dramatic actors that excelled in comedic roles are Robert DeNiro in Meet the Parents/Mett the Fockers, James Caan in Elf, and Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. Conversely, comedic actors like Jim Carrey, Steve Carrell, Adam Sandler, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jonah Hill and Brian Cranston turned in stellar performances in dramatic roles too.
