    Best American indie flick I've seen in a long time--not "shot on a cell phone" indie, it's got good production values and one of the best "guitar riffing with effects" soundtracks EVAR. When the boy and girl sit down to watch an Annie Sprinkle video together: Priceless. Good Dick...( read more) is edgy, smart, and very funny. Written and directed by and starring Marianna Palka, it's one of those first babies by an obvious talent.

    Impressive directorial debut by Scottish-born Marianna Palka. Delightfully offbeat indie romcom with impressive direction, strong performances and a script that's by turns creepy, funny, weird and ultimately moving. The Kevin Smith-esque dude banter might place it in a US indie tradition, but there's also an honesty to the script and performances that's genuinely original and touching. Nearly blindsides us with moments of such genuine thoughtfulness and surprises that wouldn't be out-of-place in a script by Cameron Crowe or Richard Curtis. Marianna Palka: officially on the "to watch" list.

    Good Dick is a well-written, well-acted unconventional romantic comedy / dramedy. I'm really excited to see what these filmmakers do next.

    She's an emotionally troubled young woman who lives in solitude and likes to watch porn. He's an ex junkie who sleeps in his car and works in a video rental store. Like Secretary it's the perfect love story: two people with lots of depth have to overcome obstacles to be together.

    I understand why, but I really couldn't like the female character in this movie. I don't want to ruin anything, but I think even given the context of the film they could have made her more likable somehow. It was over the top.

    Tom Arnold was a surprise, Eric Edelstein was ...( read more)excellent and should hopefully benefit from a career bump after, and Jason Ritter redeemed himself a bit (for me) with this one..

    Could barely even finish it. Stalking someone and then blatantly lying to them (for a good 2/3s) is not funny, romantic, quirky, or entertaining! Selfish bastard!

    I thought this movie was sweet and so true... I enjoyed it as well... lets watch another... someone recommend one!!!

    Interesting the first few minutes, and then slowly begun a nose dive to crash and burn. Only lost $1 on this one....

    Recommended by Pete L.... A modern fairytail....

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

In spite of a title, and much dialogue, likely to send Aunt Edna into convulsions, Good Dick is the week's best film. full review
