July 7, 2010This movie trumps Punch-Drunk Love for strangest on-screen couple in a movie I've seen in recent months.

January 4, 2010Very 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.

August 31, 2009I 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 thi... read more -
May 3, 2009Good Dick is a well-written, well-acted unconventional romantic comedy / dramedy. I'm really excited to see what these filmmakers do next.

November 29, 2009It was enjoyable at a distance. It's not something I'd watch over and over, but I'm glad I gave it a watch!

November 23, 2009She'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.

September 13, 2009I 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 -
May 27, 2009Regardless of all the negative things I heard about this film I really loved it. The characters are cute together and brilliantly written. Both are fun to watch especially for an hour and 20, it was the perfect little indie film.

July 23, 2011This movie was very strange. It is hard to get into because you are never sure about the guys motivation for hanging around this seriously disturbed chick. In the end things make sense and it has a sweet ending, but it very slow and definitely not for everyone.

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. Full Review

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. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Dysfunction beguiles in Good Dick, a perverse romantic comedy whose coarse title belies its tender heart.
October 10, 2008
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
Good Dick carries its messed-up, highly improbable premise so lightly and gracefully that it ultimately comes off as a sweet, plausible and curiously grounded love story. Full Review

Todd McCarthy, Variety
An annoying example of self-therapy posing as art. Full Review

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
Instead of embodying the fun and spirited fluff that a rom com should be, this film just grinds its teeth through the process. Full Review

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a lot more poignant than most of Hollywood's big-budget, star-studded takes on the subject. Full Review
