The scene where Ryan Gosling punches the window and ends up in the ambulance was such unexpected, perfectly timed comedy I think I almost broke myself laughing so hard. Such a good movie.
This movie was so hilarious. Sadly it didn’t do well box office wise. I would of love a sequel with these characters. My favorite line in the movie is “sorry. I thought you were dead.” 😂
Both Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling have been pitching a sequel and are ready to go, but for some reason it hasn’t happened yet. They were great together and the physical comedy is top notch as well.
This Movie's severe underperformance perfectly captures what's wrong with modern society. People absolutely bitch and moan "Uhh Hollywood is just Reboots and Sequels now, they ran out of Ideas!!!!" But then a Gem like this comes along. Original, great marketing, funny and on top of that just overall really really good. And guess what, no one goes to see it, because it's not a sequel or reboot.
People surprised at Ryan Gosling's comedic chops in Barbie clearly didn't watch this movie. This has to be one of the most underrated movies I've ever watched.
The only reason I saw this movie is because we had roofers, and I was trying to get out of the house to escape the noise. It was the only movie at the theater I hadn't seen yet so I said, "whatever why not." Absolutely loved it. So grateful for those roofers.
I remember my uncle rented this from redbox when it came out and watched it with him, my brother, and my friend and I absolutely loved it and the rest didn't like it because they were expecting a pure comedy and had false expectations
There is something so funny about Ryan Gosling getting hurt here. The little noises he makes before his arm is broken, falling down a hill, and cutting his arm breaking in (always use your elbow kids) 🤣🤣🤣 It's a wild change from watching him get hurt in depressing ways (Drive, Only God Forgives, Blade Runner 2049) 😅
Ryan Gosling also showed that he has what it takes for comedy. I mean, we kinda saw that in "The Big Short" as well, but in combo with Russel Crowe it's perfection. Hilarious movie.
Literally everyone I know who has seen this movie loves it, unfortunately there's too few of us to win any polls. It was released at the same time as a bunch of anticipated movies, and most movie-goers went to see one of them instead of this unknown non-sequel, non-franchise original movie.
I'm so happy that you enjoyed this movie as much as you did! Really flew under the radar of many people but I feel like it's going to truly grow into a cult classic.
In case no one mentioned it yet the mangled corpse of Sid Shattuk is played by Robert Downey Jr and he's acted in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Val Kilmer, my favourite Shane Black movie
If you liked this, you'll definetly like "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", which is directed by the same guy who did this movie (Shane Black). RDJ and Val Kilmer are awesome in it.
What a surprise. Finally somebody reacting to this funny, funny movie. One of my favorites. So underrated. Incredible characters and performance. Glad you liked it. I hope some other reactors follow you.
Such an underrated movie directed by the one and only Shane Black. He also directed a movie with Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
I was born in the '50s so I love movies about the '70s, especially when they get everything right. No cell phones, no computers it was different back then.
This is such a fun film and Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe have such a great chemistry together. It’s a shame it wasn’t more popular a sequel would be awesome
Speaking as a teenager in the 70s, it was fun and way different. It wasn't perfect, but what decade is? The true crime here is, with all the streaming services available producing crap, why didn't anyone see this as a great opportunity to make a wildly hilarious series? Great time period, best music, wacky characters, and endless opportunities to grab from some of the best history. So glad you had fun with it.
The Nice Guys was absolutely hilarious, by far Shane Black best movie. The chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe is excellent and Gosling character's daughter played by Angourie Rice was just a pleasure to watch. The only sad thing is that there was no sequel made. Hope it does happen.
I love this movie! Its one of the funniest buddy cop action comedy movies ever made! Too bad the sequel was cancelled as the film didn't make a profit, $70 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget, and a spin-off TV series based on the movie was cancelled, as well.
When Ryan Gosling falls over the wall and finds the dead guy, his scared reactions with the wheezing and not being able to talk are a direct homage to Lou Costello from Abbott and Costello. They were a hugely successful comedy duo from the 40s and 50s.
Oh, a film very similar to this one: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Same guy, same general idea... private eyes in over their heads, chasing down a girl. Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. I consider this to be a spiritual sequel to it.
So, back the 70's, there wasn't even Moviephone. You'd call the specific theater and the outgoing message on the answering machine listed the movies and showtimes. The other option was too look up the showtimes in the newspaper where they had large picture ads for the bigger ones. Every weekend edition had line art pictures for the two adult film theaters. Right next to the same size ad for The Muppet Movie. The 70's were a wild time.
This movie should not be watched without seeing Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang first or along with it. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer make for such another amazing pair!
I worked at the movies when this came out and I was telling everyone I could to go see this flick, it’s probably the funniest film of the last 10 years
I'm so glad this movie is getting more attention. Anyone who saw this movie in 2016 and noticed the lack of success knew this movie was gonna be a cult classic.
I loved this movie SO much, and still do. It's become a comfort movie for me and really let me know what a great comedic actor Gosling is. The director (Shane Black) is a little hit and miss for me (Loved "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" and "The Nice Guys." But don't really care for "Iron Man 3" and "The Predator." But, "The Nice Guys" is special for me. Really enjoy it.
Unfortunately this is a seriously underrated movie that did not so good numbers at the theaters. Shane Black is a master at making these movies. If you haven’t seen his other movie he did before this one, check out “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” with Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It’s like this movie: a funny detective film noir style movie. It’s just as funny as this.
Kinda funny thing about a sequel for this. Is Russell Crowe actually said he will never do a sequel for any of his movies. Except Nice Guys. Only movie he'd even consider doing a sequel for.
Dude I also just watched this movie for the first time last week and had the same reaction. Such a great movie. Don’t know why it’s not more popular. Gosling is friggin hilarious in this.
This movie was written & directed by Shane Black. He also wrote the screenplay for & directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, another criminally underseen movie. Definitely check that one out if you liked this one. Black famously came on the scene after writing Lethal Weapon, and co-writing all the movies in that series. But he also wrote The Last Boy Scout (1991), Last Action Hero (1993), and The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996). I suggest all three. The first is underrated, the second was before it’s time and has since become a bit of a classic, and The Long Kiss Goodnight is thoroughly enjoyable. I think this movie didn’t even make back its $70 million budget, which is criminal. It’s one of my favorite movies of the genre, one of my favorite movies in general, and also on my list of most rewatchable movies. If I’m not mistaken, this is the one movie he’s been in that Russell Crowe said he’d love to have a sequel. They had one planned & also a TV show, but that was all scrapped due to the turnout on this one. It’s hard to see it happening now. Critics enjoyed this, everyone I’ve ever seen that has seen it loves it. Sadly, most people haven’t seen it. And unlike other underrated movies, you are only one of a few reactors I’ve seen react to it, so it hasn’t seemed to gain much traction on that circuit, either.
I guess you’ll be doing “kiss kiss bang bang” (which is the spiritual and kind of actual sequel/prequel to this) soon!Enjoy! Maybe Lethal Weapon after that.
It was written by Shane Black who did the Lethal Weapon movies and Iron Man 3 and shows how he’s of the best at the fun buddy cop (-adjacent) genre. There was talk of doing a tv show on Fox, but that never went anywhere I think because of budget and creative restraints (imagine this movie without all of the content it elwarned you about in the beginning)
I loved your reaction. The reason it didn't do better on the polls is almost nobody saw it. I definitely vote for it every time it's on a poll. Glad you enjoyed it.
"The Place Beyond The Pines" is another hidden gem of a Ryan Gosling movie. Also "Fracture" where he shares the screen with Anthony Hopkins in a glorious court-room drama with a twist!
If you liked this movie, be sure to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is also written and directed by Shane Black and stars Robert Downey Jr. RDJ made a cameo appearance as the corpse of the porn producer Sid in The Nice Guys.
If you love this movie, then I recommend Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's by the same director and it has a very similar vibe. You mention that you are sad there isn't a second one. Well Kiss Kiss Bang Bang will be the closest thing you'll get to one.
This movie didn't get a lot of marketing, so it flew under a lot of people's radars, otherwise I'm sure it would have won some polls a lot sooner. There's tons of gems out there like this, but specifically clever crime films with witty banter falls under a lot of Guy Ritchie films like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, the remake of The Man from Uncle. On the American side Smoking Aces and Lucky Number Slevin are pretty good.
This one really flew under the radar. I didn't discover it until it hit cable. Such a gem. Sad there won't be a sequel. Glad you did this, I don't think anyone else has.
Nobody voted for it because nobody watched it. Before Shane Black directed this movie he directed my favourite movie of all time, Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. When I went to the theatre, it was me, a friend, and one other person. It was one week after opening.
Such a great movie. I've met Russell Crowe via work once and being an Aussie as well he was chatting with me for a while, hilarious bloke. I feel humour just comes naturally to these guys hence the chemistry.
This ties with Monty Python and the Holy Grail for my all time favorite comedy. It’s criminally underrated and deserved way more love than it received. The kid probably looked familiar because he was in Jurassic World and another Shane Black movie Iron Man 3. Speaking of whom, that’s actually RDJ as the corpse of Sid Shattuck. Also the Bee is voiced by Hannibal Buress
Writer-director Shane Black specialises in buddy movies. He wrote Lethal Weapon and finally directed his own script with buddy movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, starring Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It's as good as the Nice Guys, if not better, but shared a similar fate at the box office.
Ultimately, this is the problem with using Polls. It relies on the voters having heard of the film. Dredd, Nice Guys, and the Man From UNCLE. Are three examples of movies that came out at poorly planned times and tanked at the box officer because no one went to see it. . . So even now they are not well known. BUT THEY WERE ALL WORTHY OF SEQUELS!! 😭😭
If you liked this, you'll like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang -- very similar tone, same genre, written and directed by the co-writer and director of this one... and it's fantastic for all the same reasons.
The scene where Ryan Gosling punches the window and ends up in the ambulance was such unexpected, perfectly timed comedy I think I almost broke myself laughing so hard. Such a good movie.
"Blood. So much blood" He said the same line in Gray Man.
That was the moment I knew I was gonna love the movie! 😄
It's a really good introduction to the character as well!
One of both Gosling's and Crowe's best roles, and their chemistry is incredible.
This movie was so hilarious. Sadly it didn’t do well box office wise. I would of love a sequel with these characters. My favorite line in the movie is “sorry. I thought you were dead.” 😂
Oh man, seeing these two characters in the early 80's during the early yuppie era and Reaganism... Someone send Shane Black a message. 🤣
Nah "you're sister's such a slut"
You can’t even say Baryshnikov!
Funniest two for me is “what the fuck Chet” and when he gets drunk “answers to….. the call of the wild”
Both Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling have been pitching a sequel and are ready to go, but for some reason it hasn’t happened yet. They were great together and the physical comedy is top notch as well.
This Movie's severe underperformance perfectly captures what's wrong with modern society.
People absolutely bitch and moan "Uhh Hollywood is just Reboots and Sequels now, they ran out of Ideas!!!!"
But then a Gem like this comes along. Original, great marketing, funny and on top of that just overall really really good.
And guess what, no one goes to see it, because it's not a sequel or reboot.
Ryan Gosling screaming and yelling "Jesus" is more than worth the price of admission. Also, the movie is fun.
People surprised at Ryan Gosling's comedic chops in Barbie clearly didn't watch this movie. This has to be one of the most underrated movies I've ever watched.
The only reason I saw this movie is because we had roofers, and I was trying to get out of the house to escape the noise. It was the only movie at the theater I hadn't seen yet so I said, "whatever why not." Absolutely loved it. So grateful for those roofers.
I remember my uncle rented this from redbox when it came out and watched it with him, my brother, and my friend and I absolutely loved it and the rest didn't like it because they were expecting a pure comedy and had false expectations
"How is he just so chill"
The answer is alcohol. Copious amounts of alcohol. Hence why his daughter is driving.
Love this film, it's criminal that it never got a sequel or even just another Gosling/Crowe team up
There is something so funny about Ryan Gosling getting hurt here. The little noises he makes before his arm is broken, falling down a hill, and cutting his arm breaking in (always use your elbow kids) 🤣🤣🤣
It's a wild change from watching him get hurt in depressing ways (Drive, Only God Forgives, Blade Runner 2049) 😅
He really is great in comedic roles, glad that more people realised that thanks to Barbie.
This movie is so good, honestly one of the best executions of the genre. It's a shame it flew under the radar on release.
Ryan Gosling also showed that he has what it takes for comedy. I mean, we kinda saw that in "The Big Short" as well, but in combo with Russel Crowe it's perfection. Hilarious movie.
It's so nice that you're reacting to this movie because nobody does and it's so underrated
Literally everyone I know who has seen this movie loves it, unfortunately there's too few of us to win any polls. It was released at the same time as a bunch of anticipated movies, and most movie-goers went to see one of them instead of this unknown non-sequel, non-franchise original movie.

Kid who plays Chet is Val Kilmers son
If you liked this, you'll definetly like "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", which is directed by the same guy who did this movie (Shane Black). RDJ and Val Kilmer are awesome in it.
I came here to say this.
I love this movie! It’s freakin hilarious! And Gosling and Crowe have such great chemistry. This deserved to be a hit, with sequels.
When this came out in theaters, Detroit was in the middle of its business collapse, which made the final villain speech hilarious
Yes, this film deserves a sequel. Even 8 years latter... set in the 80's. With Gosling, Crowe AND Angourie Rice.
What a surprise. Finally somebody reacting to this funny, funny movie. One of my favorites. So underrated. Incredible characters and performance. Glad you liked it. I hope some other reactors follow you.
One of my favorite comedies! So damn funny. Never would have guessed that Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling would make an amazing pair
“Not the Yoohoo’s, man!” 😂😂😂 The best.
Such an underrated movie directed by the one and only Shane Black. He also directed a movie with Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
This movie is essentially Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's spiritual successor because he never got to do a sequel to that movie.
I was born in the '50s so I love movies about the '70s, especially when they get everything right.
No cell phones, no computers it was different back then.
This is such a fun film and Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe have such a great chemistry together. It’s a shame it wasn’t more popular a sequel would be awesome
The body over the fence scene will forever crack me up 🤣
Couldn't stop talking about this film after I saw it. So underrated...😂
Robin Williams famously said if you remember the 70s you weren’t there
Random purchase I 100% never regretted. Watch it every couple months ❤
This is one of the most underrated movies. I keep hoping they make a sequel the chemistry between the actors is so good
I will never not be upset this movie didn’t get a sequel

Too bad the sequel was cancelled as the film didn't make a profit, $70 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget, and a spin-off TV series based on the movie was cancelled, as well.
the nice guys is such a funny movie, sad that it didn't get as much public attention when it was airing.
This Movie is Such a Such an Underrated Gem❤Should have gotten a Sequel...
Gosling & Crowe: This movie is for the birds!!!!
When Ryan Gosling falls over the wall and finds the dead guy, his scared reactions with the wheezing and not being able to talk are a direct homage to Lou Costello from Abbott and Costello. They were a hugely successful comedy duo from the 40s and 50s.

9:22 I feel like your laugh at the Rim-job joke was not sufficient. 😂😂
The reason the boy at the beginning looks familiar is because you probably recognize from iron man 3. He’s the kid that Tony becomes friends with
This movie should not be watched without seeing Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang first or along with it. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer make for such another amazing pair!
"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" with Robert Downey Jr. has the same kind of plot, same great laughs. The two movies should be thought of together.
I worked at the movies when this came out and I was telling everyone I could to go see this flick, it’s probably the funniest film of the last 10 years
I'm so glad this movie is getting more attention. Anyone who saw this movie in 2016 and noticed the lack of success knew this movie was gonna be a cult classic.
Four words: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Edit: Two words technically.
"don't say, and stuff" haha
this movie was a gem, not many people know about it and its a shame.
I have ben screaming from the rooftops about this movie ever since it came out, glad you liked it
I loved this movie SO much, and still do. It's become a comfort movie for me and really let me know what a great comedic actor Gosling is. The director (Shane Black) is a little hit and miss for me (Loved "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" and "The Nice Guys." But don't really care for "Iron Man 3" and "The Predator."

Tonight's game: Drink Everytime V says 'the 70s we're a wild time..' 🤣
Not enough people have seen this move, its so good.
Unfortunately this is a seriously underrated movie that did not so good numbers at the theaters. Shane Black is a master at making these movies. If you haven’t seen his other movie he did before this one, check out “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” with Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It’s like this movie: a funny detective film noir style movie. It’s just as funny as this.
This movie and his snl sketches are his best acting ever!!!
“How is he like so chill”
He’s an alcoholic.
I never wanted a sequel more than for The Nice Guys! Everyone behind the film wants to do it, so we need to get more people to watch it!
Kinda funny thing about a sequel for this. Is Russell Crowe actually said he will never do a sequel for any of his movies. Except Nice Guys. Only movie he'd even consider doing a sequel for.
This film is an underrated masterpiece and crying out for a sequel!
This has got to be one of the most underrated movies in the last 20 years. So many people o know have never heard of it.
Ryan Gosling needs to be in more comedies.
Dude I also just watched this movie for the first time last week and had the same reaction. Such a great movie. Don’t know why it’s not more popular. Gosling is friggin hilarious in this.
Fun reaction! Love this movie. Something similar: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang by the same writer/director
This is one my favorite comedies of the last 10 years.

This is one of my favorite movies, extremely underrated. Ryan Gosling was amazingly funny. Glad you enjoyed it
For me, this film was a hidden gem! so much fun to watch! Thanks for reacting to it!
Most underrated comedy of the past decade. I seriously don't understand how a movie this funny (especially in today's age) wasn't a major hit.
I love how Ryan Gosaling is a heartthrob actor but his comic timing is spot on
Definitely one of the most criminally underrated movies of all time.
This movie is great. Way tooo funny. Weirdly underrated
I loved your reaction. The reason it didn't do better on the polls is almost nobody saw it. I definitely vote for it every time it's on a poll. Glad you enjoyed it.
It really reminds me of Shane Black's prior movie "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". So great.
"The Place Beyond The Pines" is another hidden gem of a Ryan Gosling movie.
Also "Fracture" where he shares the screen with Anthony Hopkins in a glorious court-room drama with a twist!
I love this movie! the acting is great, the writing is super fun and the action is crazy :D it's just a blast to watch it!
If you liked this movie, be sure to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is also written and directed by Shane Black and stars Robert Downey Jr. RDJ made a cameo appearance as the corpse of the porn producer Sid in The Nice Guys.
My favorite Ryan Gosling movie, he is absolutely hysterical in this 😂
This movie is an underrated gem.
Quite the funny flick, great chemistry the characters have in this movie!
One of the best comedic movies ever
If you love this movie, then I recommend Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's by the same director and it has a very similar vibe. You mention that you are sad there isn't a second one. Well Kiss Kiss Bang Bang will be the closest thing you'll get to one.

One of my favorite parts wasn't in the clips.....I think I'm invincible! I don't think I can die! It's the only explanation!
This one really flew under the radar. I didn't discover it until it hit cable. Such a gem. Sad there won't be a sequel. Glad you did this, I don't think anyone else has.

Such a great movie. I've met Russell Crowe via work once and being an Aussie as well he was chatting with me for a while, hilarious bloke. I feel humour just comes naturally to these guys hence the chemistry.
2:10 gotcha!
Not sure if someone commented this yet, but that dead body is actually played by Robert Downey Jr.
If you're on a Gosling kick I would recommend Crazy, Stupid, Love. R.G., Steve Carell, Emma Stone movie. Pretty wholesome.
Great movie, the Dirty Dancing scene is one of my favorite comedic scenes of all time!
@@korganrocks3995 everyone does such a good job where it's a solid movie all around, imo.
This ties with Monty Python and the Holy Grail for my all time favorite comedy. It’s criminally underrated and deserved way more love than it received.
The kid probably looked familiar because he was in Jurassic World and another Shane Black movie Iron Man 3.
Speaking of whom, that’s actually RDJ as the corpse of Sid Shattuck. Also the Bee is voiced by Hannibal Buress
Fun fact: RDJ played Sid Shattuck.
The detective that isn't Russell Crowe is Ryan Gosling and the movie was made in 2016 and Ryan Thomas Gosling was 36 in 2016.
Writer-director Shane Black specialises in buddy movies. He wrote Lethal Weapon and finally directed his own script with buddy movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, starring Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It's as good as the Nice Guys, if not better, but shared a similar fate at the box office.
"I'm sorry you looked like a Filipino"
I LOLed at that too, and i'm a Filipino 😂
This movie feels so much like KissKissBangBang
I adore this movie!! Also, I don't know if anyone else has said this but the body of Sid Shattuck is actually Robert Downey Jr!!
Ultimately, this is the problem with using Polls. It relies on the voters having heard of the film. Dredd, Nice Guys, and the Man From UNCLE. Are three examples of movies that came out at poorly planned times and tanked at the box officer because no one went to see it. . . So even now they are not well known. BUT THEY WERE ALL WORTHY OF SEQUELS!! 😭😭
If you liked this, you'll like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang -- very similar tone, same genre, written and directed by the co-writer and director of this one... and it's fantastic for all the same reasons.
More people should react to this movie! Love it.
Would also love a sequel.
