High-reaching adult drama with lots of language, drinking.

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.

Even on a reduced scale of expectation, Good Guy is stunningly empty and obvious, missing its mark as a cautionary tale or a romantic sojourn, instead slogging along a preordained trail of clich.

Wesley Morris Boston Globe Mar 4, 2010 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.

Brett Michel Boston Phoenix Mar 4, 2010 0.5/4

Writer/director Julio DePietro's first effort is every bit as obvious as it sounds, thudding from one symmetrically perfect cliche to another.

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.

Adam Markovitz Entertainment Weekly Mar 3, 2010 C

The Good Guy has a few half-cute moments, some chuckles, and enough pretty faces to cast at least two TV pilots. What it doesn't have is a clue.

Brent Simon Shared Darkness Feb 25, 2010 C

A sort of much more polite, estrogenized filmic companion piece to a lost, mid-era Bret Easton Ellis novel, this movie has a different, interesting cant than most films of its ilk, but can't quite turn that positive into a deal-closing recommendation.

Ethan Alter NYC Film Critic Feb 22, 2010 2/4

For a movie that clearly aspires to be an up-to-the-minute representation of New York City, The Good Guy already feels quite dated.

The cast could not be better.

Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News Feb 19, 2010 2/4

There's too little difference between the good guys and the bad guys in Julio DePietro's uninspired debut, a slickly cynical romance destined to be quickly forgotten.

Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times Feb 19, 2010 3/5

Drawing on his stint at a Chicago investment firm, DePietro creates characters, dialogue and situations that feel authentic, which makes the film relevant in unexpected ways, though not as deeply as you hope he'll do in the future.

resh enough to provide the voyeuristic kick of glimpsing the frenzied lifestyle of aspiring masters of the universe.

Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Feb 19, 2010 3/5

New York-based love story that illustrates how old-fashioned virtues can still play a significant role in matters of the heart.

There is a reason why McCarthy doesn't get hired to play a sharking alpha male very often. When he makes an effort to work his features into a frenzy of boiling testosterone, he looks like a petulant third-grader.

Good guy finishes last and makes mediocre movie.

Doris Toumarkine The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17, 2010

Handsome, well-done if too familiar look at the romantic and professional games played by upscale twentysomething Manhattan professionals working pre-recession.

The Good Guy builds its power as it goes, taking you places you don't expect. It's the rare movie that can surprise you in that way %u2013 but this one does.
