If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

... View MoreArrgh... where do I begin?Let's face it, if you give most women a choice between a sensitive, intelligent, honest man, and a man who is abusive, dumb, and unfaithful, most women will choose the latter. Sounds quite absurd, but as it has been said before: Nice guys have the same effect on women as daylight has on Dracula. Most women in America are walking around with worms in their head.As if we are supposed to think that American women will see the errors of their ways. One reviewer said that in "Nice Guys Sleep Alone" that Maggie (Sybil Temchen) has matured enough to appreciate a good guy, In real life this only happens when women can't get the jerk their really attracted to, so they settle for the nice guy i.e. the guy they consider a "Chump", who ends up really being treated as an ATM machine and punching bag. Oh yes, he also gets to NOT have sex with her too.Yes, "Nice Guys Sleep Alone" makes every attempt at convincing you otherwise, but this movie truly is unrealistic. The bottom line here is that it never pays to be the "nice guy" in America; ever. Don't let this movie fool you. I'm not saying to be a dirt bag and abuse women, but rather demand real respect upfront; i.e. sex, which is a natural part of any real relationship despite what the warped values of a puritanical society will want us to think otherwise. If she refuses, ditch her fast. It is her loss. If you are a nice guy then you know you deserve better. As we also see in this flick that his gal-pal Erin comes crying to Carter when some "jerk" breaks her heart, then decides she likes him. Don't kid yourself into thinking this could ever happen to you. Don't be the "girlfriend" who listens to women's problems, because once you are, you are considered to be a eunuch.Thing is, movies and TV shows entertain a lot of politically correct fantasy about this sort of stuff, and "Nice Guys Sleep Alone" is no exception. It's garbage, pure and simple.
... View More"Nice Guys..." tells of a 30-something male school teacher who is frustrated with dating because he follows the rules and always strikes out. Well, almost always. This little "sleeper" offers a fresh, honest, and amusing look at the foibles of first dates, doesn't try to out do itself, and knows when to quit. No blockbuster but an enjoyable watch worth renting.
... View MoreI must admit that I picked this film up at my local video store on a whim. I saw the coverbox with an actress (Vanessa Marcil) I admired. I read the summary on the back of said coverbox, and thought it sounded like a fun film. I was VERY surprised to find just how much I thoroughly LOVED this film. The entire length of the film felt like deja vu. I may be female, but let me tell you... Nice "Girls" Sleep Alone also... in any case, I was drawn to the characters, and felt their pain and laughter. They almost became friends of sorts... in all honesty I was sorry to see the credits roll. This is the type of film that shows America that there is more to dating than going to those "meat market" bars for romance. There are many people in this world who are "nice", and as such get labeled the proverbial best friend, kid bro/sis, etc.... It was so refreshing to FINALLY see a movie show that "nice" people CAN find love and happiness in this crazy, mixed up world as well. My hat is off to Stu Pollard! I think he did a wonderful job of weaving the comedy and romance within his film. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous! I have told all my friends to see this film, and I STRONGLY suggest anyone in the mood for a good romantic film check it out as well! Who knows, maybe there is a sequel in there called "Nice Girls Sleep Alone" for the future?
... View MoreIt all starts with the dreaded phrase - `lets be friends." For anyone who's had their heart sink at these words, "Nice Guys Sleep Alone" is the movie for you. Writer/director Stu Pollard presents a quirky view of dating and game playing in the unusual and lovely setting of Kentucky horse country. Charming and funny, this is a sweet story with some really fun over-the-top characters and scenes. Additions such as attorney Slick Willie and his hilarious Pre-Relationship Agreement, and the hard-drinking Robert, the quintessential `catch' complete with crazed southern-laced French are what make this movie so fun.There are characters you can't help liking and may possibly recognize, and some parts of the story will hit very close to home for those brave folks on the dating front. Many will readily identify with the well-intentioned but misdirected assistance of friends, and old familiars such as the call waiting trick. `Nice Guys Sleep Alone' is definitely a movie to see and proof positive that good movies are better than a bad date any old time.
