“The Good Guy” Gets New York Times Critics Pick

Bryan Greenberg's latest movie "The Good Guy" opened this past weekend in theaters across Los Angeles and New York.  The independent film was released with relatively little promotion, but was well received from critics. The New York Times gave the movie its Critics Pick for last week. The movie was also well received from the Los Angeles Times and the Hollywood Reporter among others.

Synopsis - Ambitious young Manhattanite and urban conservationist Beth (Alexis Bledel) wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is often the trickiest of all. In the new romantic dramedy THE GOOD GUY, Beth falls hard for Tommy (Scott Porter), a sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot. But just as everything seems to be falling into place, complications arise in the form of Tommy’s sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel (Bryan Greenberg). Beth soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street – high risk, high reward and everybody has an angle

What The Critics Are Saying

Pleasurable, amusing, well conceived and written. Give this one time - these guys feel like they're worth getting to know, and the show as well. Newsday - Verne Gay

Even without the Hollywood glamour, though, the New York series may turn out to be the superior product, grounded as it is in Mr. Greenberg's compelling, layered character, with a strong mind and vulnerable heart. Wall Street Journal - Nancy DeWolf Smith

Everyone in "How to Make It" isn't a winner. But the show looks to be just that. New York Daily News -David Hinckley

Creator Ian Edelman keeps his characters on the right side of caricature and avoids the kind of melodramatic confrontations their relations might typically suggest. Los Angeles Times - Robert Lloyd

As a portrait of struggling Manhattanites, How to Make It effectively hones in on that hope-filled effervescence historically associated with the idealized American dream.  Slant Magazine - Adam Keleman

While I can't say that it's a great HBO comedy yet--it is not, really, even strictly a comedy in the ha-ha-hilarious sense--it's likeable and absorbing and made me want to stick around for more.  Time - James Poniewozik
