cat_on_imdb Arrgh... 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.

George Parker "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.

chellew4 It 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.

FlickJunkie-2 The best comedy comes from simple truths about life. ‘Nice Guys' captures so many of the essential truths about the dating game that, despite its shortcomings, it is extremely entertaining.Carter (Sean O'Bryan) is a really nice guy. He is such a nice guy that women are dying to be his friend. At least that is what they all tell him at the end of the first date. Maggie (Sybil Temchen) is a New York veterinarian who is starting over in Louisville, Kentucky working on a thoroughbred horse farm. With the dubious guidance of his best friend, Carter asks Maggie for a date, and the fun begins.The movie is peppered with vignettes about dating and the games the sexes plays. What makes it funny is that it is all so true, and without much exaggeration. There are quite a few good sight gags and liberal guffaws throughout.This was a low budget independent production written and directed by Stu Pollard in his first attempt at both. The writing was honest and insightful, but uneven. At times, the dialogue was terrific; sharp, biting humor the captured the essence of this absurd ritual called dating. At other times it was gut wrenching drivel. The same was true of the cinematography. He had some beautiful shots of Kentucky, and then other shots were set up all wrong.The acting was about what you would expect from third tier actors. Sean O'Bryan was nice enough, but so bland that one might suspect that he was boring his dates into friendship. He did exude great sincerity though, which worked very well with his character. Sybil Temchen was the best actor in the film and seemed very confident in her role. She was strong and self-assured in her role as the vet, but confused and uncertain in dating mode.Overall, this was a pleasant surprise for a film with untested talent and limited resources. I rated it a 7/10. It is a fun movie with something for just about everyone who has ever been on a date as an adult. At some point you may even find yourself saying, `Yeah, that happened to me too.'
