Leave your thoughts about The Good Guy.
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzOne by one, each scene goes slack as the script struggles with Screenwriting 101 problems like who the main character is and what he wants -- not to mention why any of us should care in the first place. |

| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatNew York-based love story that illustrates how old-fashioned virtues can still play a significant role in matters of the heart. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA light romantic comedy about a relationship between a hot-shot investment banker and a perky conservationist who learns in time that her boyfriend is a cad. |
