Critic Reviews

  • Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

    Surely some of the young woman's porn videos would make better viewing.

  • James Greenberg, Hollywood Reporter

    Alternately compelling and dramatically limp, the film scores points for exploring unfamiliar territory but lacks the emotional depth to make some very strange behavior believable.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    A short and sweet anti-romantic comedy, Good Dick puts together a heav ily depressed young woman with a homeless clerk who rents her porn at a Los Angeles video store.

  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

    As irritatingly monosyllabic as its characters, this indie 'romance' -- the quote marks aren't an accident -- feels over-workshopped and false at almost every point.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Dysfunction beguiles in Good Dick, a perverse romantic comedy whose coarse title belies its tender heart.

    This movie trumps Punch-Drunk Love for strangest on-screen couple in a movie I've seen in recent months.

    Very odd yet I completely loved it. Indie flick that doesn't seem so indie... Love the storyline, even though it's a bit crude, and am pleased with the results. Jason & Marianna were quite believable in their roles.

    I have seen Jason Ritter in a few movies now, one being the education of charlie banks. I thought he was brilliant in it. So I will watch this just to see his performance. Plus it looks like its going to be very different from most films. Plus it looks funny. OK, I watched this… More

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

    Interesting film with weird characters. Good performances by Palka and Ritter.
