Beth (Alexis Bledel), an urban conservationist, wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share her life and love of New York. When Beth meets Tommy (Scott Porter), a Wall Street whiz, she falls head over heels in love. It seems that everything is falling into place, but romantic complications arise when Beth meets Daniel, Tommy's sensitive and handsome colleague.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Good Guy has an attractive cast, but they aren't done any favors by the film's cardboard characters and cliched plot.

1.5/4
It's network television drama, starring actors best known for their TV work and full of the petty gripes and mild worries of characters who really have nothing compelling to worry about. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Mar 4, 2010
3/4
It has smart characters, and is wise about the ones who try to tame their intelligence by acting out. Go to Full Review

2/5
High-reaching adult drama with lots of language, drinking. Go to Full Review
Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Jul 3, 2010
83/100
Mild, pleasant, obvious romantic comedy set on Wall Street that's most notable for its (maybe accurate) portrayal of young brokers as amoral idiots oblivious to the real-life consequences of their risky business. Go to Full Review
