They're not in the yellow pages

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2019)

A movie like the Nice Guys lives or dies depending on the chemistry of its stars. Thankfully Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling have plenty. Shane Black's script does well to make light of the cliches we've seen in all buddy movies. Often it goes one only to make fun of the idea itself. Such tongue and cheek humor works do to the capabilities of the actors.
