A drunken incident prompts Reed's fiancee (Alexis Bledel) and the entire town to turn against him. This one-of-a-kind hilariously clever comedy features an up and coming ensemble cast and an unforgettably captivating original soundtrack. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:&nbs
Ambitious young New Yorker 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 trickiest of all, as Beth discovers when she falls hard for Tommy (Scott Porter), a handsome, young Wall Street hotshot. Just as everything seems to be falling into place, Beth meets Tommy’s shy, clumsy co-worker Daniel (Bryan Greenberg) â€" and soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street â€" high risk, high reward…and everybo! dy has an angleThe crystal-blue eyes of Alexis Bledel are the prize for which two men vie in
The Good Guy. Tommy (Scott Porter from the TV series
Friday Night Lights) has a great life: he's highly placed on Wall Street and has a smart and beautiful girlfriend, Beth (Bledel,
Gilmore Girls). But when he tries to turn the awkward Daniel (Bryan Greenberg,
The Perfect Score) into his protégé at the firm, Daniel proves to be an unexpected catalyst in Tommy's life--and Beth's.
The Good Guy mixes familiar platitudes about men and women with some surprisingly fresh observations about men and women. The characters actually reveal themselves over time, turning out to be different than you might expect. It's far from perfect--the pace is a little too leisurely and some elements are a little too pat (Beth's book club is reading a novel that sounds suspiciously like the movie itself). Nonetheless,
The Good Guy never turns predictable and--thoug! h the characters all live in million-dollar New York apartment! s--there are surprisingly realistic touches throughout, an attention to human details that all too often get lost in Hollywood movies. Also featuring Andrew McCarthy (
Pretty in Pink) as Tommy's sleazy boss.
