Based on the popular memoir by Ayn Carrillo-Gailey, the story follows Lucy Neal (Hale), a violinist who is thrown for a loop when she is accused of being too inhibited by her ex-boyfriend. In an effort to prove him wrong, Lucy creates a rather wild to-do list that sends her on a whirlwind and surprising journey of self-discovery, friendship, and new love.
Leave your thoughts about A Nice Girl Like You.
| IndieWireKate ErblandWhile Carrillo-Gailey’s book was flinty and fresh, A Nice Girl Like You is more predictable than wild, more staid than sexy, but at least Hale injects some refreshing fun into the outing. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloIf A Nice Girl Like You would have stayed the course of the book it’s based on, Ayn Carrillo-Gailey’s 2007 memoir Pornology, it might have been an interesting enough premise. Instead, Andrea Marcellus’ screen adaptation whitewashes the main character and moves the narrative into a more conventional territory, one centered on love over lust, tame over the risque. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIn the bland and outdated and curiously tame would-be sex rom-com “A Nice Girl Like You,” Hale once again tries her gosh-darndest to sell the material — but even though this toothless yawner is based on a real-life memoir, every single frame feels artificial and forced. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreAs sex farces go, A Nice Girl Like You is about as nasty, dirty and funny as a sitcom…on The Disney Channel. |
| Chicago TribuneKatie WalshWhat is remarkable, though, is just how unbelievably unbelievable this inspired-by-true-life tale is. |
| User Reviewryu9376Honestly, really enjoyed this. Wasn't really expecting to, and Lucy Hale was quite brilliant & hilarious. I can say with all honesty that I would watch this again. And besides her "list" had me cthu. |
| User Reviewr96skI... actually kinda like this? It's dumb no doubt, but it works. Just narrowly, I will say that. 'A Nice Girl Like You' does feature moments that don't come out well, though I honestly didn't dislike watching it all unfold. There are a couple of funny moments, particularly one lippy bit, and Lucy Hale (Lucy) makes for an enjoyable lead. It's an amusing and fun premise. Of course it is nothing near perfect and I was extremely close to rating it a notch lower, yet I think it has enough to it to make it a worthwhile watch. I can, admittedly, see it splitting opinion. As noted, Hale is the star but I also found Jackie Cruz (Nessa) and Mindy Cohn (Pricilla) decent. The film is directed by The Brothers Riedell, two guys I in fact used to watch years and years back when they were doing YouTube and Internet Icon. I seem to recall enjoying their content on there so it's nice to see them making films nowadays. I still remember their subscribe song/outro thing seven+ years on... Every now and then I find a film that isn't all that great but I still have a fine time with it, this is one of those occasions. Not gonna lie, I'm cool with this. |
| User ReviewMurrayT57A candidate for the worst movie of the year...and decade. Sometimes you have to suspend your belief system to enjoy a movie, but you'd have to suspend all five senses just to sit through this ridiculously stupid drivel. |
