Both of these guys are hilarious in real life. The promos they did for this were just as funny as the movie.

Ryan Gosling puts on a masterclass in this movie

This and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang make for the perfect double feature from director Shane Black. They feel like sibling films, and both are darn hysterical.

As far as I'm concerned this movie is flawless. It works as a murder mystery, it works as an action film, and it works as a comedy. I honestly can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it, and that's rare for me when it comes to movies.

Hell yes. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I really wanted a sequel. 😢

It's a crime that this didn't become a buddy cop trilogy. It could have spanned the rest of the 70's and then into the 80's, I thought the same as you just before you said "please tell me a sequel of this came out or is being worked on."

Simply one of THE most underrated movies.

I love this movie its a shame it wasnt more popular a sequel would be awesome

That Nixon in the pool gag had me in tears.

I've watched this so many times and laugh every time. I don't know why more reactors haven't done this.

Def agree: this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Crowe and Gosling are bizarrely good together. How this movie didn't burn up the box office has baffled me since I saw it the first time.

Dude, this was such an amazing movie. I dont know how more people arnt reacting to it. It was glorious

There's no sequel, but writer/director Shane Black made a similar action/comedy buddy movie with RDJ and Val Kilmer called "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" 2005 which would be the next best thing for you. Shane Black revolutionized the buddy cop genre creating Lethal Weapon, the most successful franchise in the genre. He also wrote "The Last Boy Scout" and is writer/director of "Iron Man 3"

This is such a fun film and Gosling and Crowe (along with the superb Angourie Rice) have such a great chemistry together. It's sad that there has not been a sequel yet (this and Dredd are movies that definitely deserve one), but at least we have this hilarious and kick ass classic that is not on people's radar nearly enough.

It's a crime they didn't make sequels to this, even at the time of release it was obvious they needed to.

SO glad yer checking this one out, I loved yer enthusiasm. Btw, when they were in the elevator going down, Gosling did this hilarious nervous eye twitch. And Angourie Rice just massively stole whatever scenes she was in 😂😂😂

This movie is beyond amazing. Straight up gold!!!

Up there with Tropic Thunder as two of the best written comedies of all time.

Crowe and Gosling are a great comedy team. It’s a shame they haven’t teamed up a few more times.

I love this film, when this came out in 16' I saw this in theaters 6 times, it's one of my favorites. Other good Gosling films to check out are Drive, A Place Beyond the Pines, Blade Runner 2049 and The Big Short which also stars Brad Pitt and Chrisitan Bale. Also some other hidden gems of Shane Black u should check out are The Last Boy Scout, A Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang

This may arguably be the most underappreciated movie of all time! Time to light up.

YESS, love this movie! :D "Don't say [and stuff], just say they were doing A*al"

Kiss kiss bb is also very good. Similar vibes. But i prefer this one. And my favorite Gosling "Drive". Completely different kind. VERY stylish with few dialogues, good vibes and hart, short action. A neon fever dream.

You got to do "Crazy, Stupid, Love" starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, to name a few of the actors at some point.

Dude this one absolutely rules. And yeah 100% move KISS KISS BANG BANG up your list - exact same vibes: unlikely duo, noir style investigations, dark comedy, super sharp dialogue. (also, not on the same level, but CRAZY STUPID LOVE is a surprisingly funny one with Ryan Gosling)

OMG you described Matt Bomer's performance perfectly! "Unsettling." 100%.

The person that said, "You should seriously think about changing your story" was Shane Black, the writer/director of the movie. Cheers!

A profoundly underrated movie.

As well as directing the two you mentioned, The Predator and Iron Man 3, Shane Black wrote Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout, as well as Last Action Hero (partly) and the criminally underrated Monster Squad.

Quickest click of my life Caped. I adore this movie. Everyone needs to see this.

Ever since this movie...i look for any opportunity to use the "don't say AND STUFF" line! lol. this movie is comedy gold! if you want another Ryan Gosling comedy...it's a rom/com...."Crazy, Stupid, Love" is just a refreshing change of pace from the standard rom/com!

This is now my favorite reaction of all time, surpassing trading places

A famous elderly actor was laying on his deathbed, being interviewed by journalists. One asked him, "Is it difficult to die?" He answered, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."

Shoulda been a blockbuster. Vastly underrated. They're finally seriously talking about a sequel.

Shane Black wrote and directed this. The other films he has like this is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's very very similar. Same sense of violent humor and snappy dialog. He also wrote the Lethal Weapon movies, which are also similar. Great buddy cop movies.

The guy who did this movie also made a movie like this called “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” with Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It’s also a buddy cop comedy/detective/murder mystery type of movie. Really freakin funny as well!

this movie is top tier dry/dark humor lolol love it

Yes this one surprised me too! If you like Ryan Gosling in this , you’ll Gray Man! Please check this out- it has Chris Evans playing a very different character.

This is my #1 hidden gem movie! I tell anyone and everyone I can about it.

There is no sequel, but there is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. A movie from the same Writer / Director Shane Black. It's in the same universe and same tone. No over lapping actors, it has Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer instead, but they are spiritually the same characters. Very similar in basic motivations. You've love it almost as much as this movie.

I hope this movie starts trending and reactors give it a watch, so good

Been waiting for u to do this. Its almost a shame they are such big stars coz it would be a phenomenal series on hbo

I have a suggestion "Green Street Hooligans" with Charlie Hunham and Elijah Woods

Ryan Gosling was in the Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake .

Probably the best buddy cop movie since Lethal weapon - it's a pure GEM of a movie

There are a lot of promo stuff they did that is hysterical.

We will never get a sequel but a reimagining or new take any time now. His Daughter is funny as well

They're good friends in real ife, and they were waiting for the right project to come along. It was successful, but it wasn't a runaway hit. I love the ending. Could've used a sequel.

This is a certified hood classic

This movie was one of the best comedies of the decade, massive shame it didn’t do well financially so we will never get the sequel they set up

You should do some "Cooking with Caped" videos. Damn i'd love to see you make food and just talk about stuff ☺

Everybody wants a sequel, but it was a sleeper when it came out and probably wont get one. This is brilliant , enjoyed watching you. React to one of my absolute favourites ,

Ryan Gosling is good in the movie "Drive" in which I hope you get to see it.

As others have pointed out, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is similar in tone and style to this movie, written and directed by the same guy, Shane Black. Then you have the OG Buddy Cop movies in Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 and 4, written but not directed by Shane Black, and then The Last Boyscout, once again written by Shane Black. They all share a vein of similarly quick witted and dry humor, but Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the one that most resembles The Nice Guys. They're all very entertaining movies however and I recommend you give them a try if you haven't already.

This movie was hilarious. Definitely made me gain more respect for Gosling. He was funny AF in this.

Great job! You made me laugh out loud. I needed that.

They have great chemistry, and that's shocking.

Gosling and Crowe are a great duo and a powerhouse of acting ability

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is hilarious and a must watch.

Ryan Gosling won me over in this one.

The best explanation I've heard for why this movie works so well: Neither of them ever TRIED to be funny. They played both roles with complete sincerity, and that made the funny things they did and said 10x better.

Drive is a brilliant Gosling film -- NOT a comedy, though. He's also great in Crazy Stupid Love -- That IS a comedy and is hilarious!! Highly recommend.

This movie is the best

1:15 The somewhat erroneously named "buddy cop" genre - they're almost never both cops, it should be called "buddy action movie" genre (48 Hours - cop and furloughed convict, Midnight Run - bounty hunter and bail skipper, Last Boy Scout - PI/ex-Secret Service agent and Football star, etc)

LOVE this movie! An under appreciated gem. So glad you enjoyed it. Your reaction was priceless.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is literally this movie but with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer

Why haven't I've seen this, it was real good i had a great laugh thanks for the great reaction .

I love this movie! It didn’t really get the love it deserves. It’s so damn funny! I really enjoyed your reaction to this. I would love a sequel!

This movie needs a sequel

You should watch Crazy,Stupid,Love too!!! I bet you will love it

A sequel is... unlikely, but not because of a lack of interest in the principals. I think the best we can hope for is whatever Shane decides to do next. And I will be there for it.

Bro! If you havent seen it, PLEASE watch "The Count of Monte Cristo" it is amazing!

yo this movie is such an underrated gem. love it and love that you reacted to it. the ONLY...the only natural next reaction should be kiss kiss bang bang with robert downey jr and val kilmer. it is deff very similar to nice guys. they are usually referred to as a pair. they are not equally funny but they are both very funny in just their own unique ways.

Yeah, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang feels very much like a trial run for The Nice Guys, it's a similar setup; Neo-Noir Buddy Comedy with a screwup teaming up with a more serious-minded tough guy and it's also set in LA, though it was then modern day LA (mid 2000s) and the mystery is a bit more straightforward. It's still very funny with the same kind of humour you liked from The Nice Guys. 🙂

This is a brilliant successor to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Glad to see someone LOVE this movie as much as I do. BEST movie of 2016 AND one of the best Comedies of the 21st Century. Your analysis was Spot On ! *Note* "Amelia" is in "Once Upon a Time....In Hollywood"

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a comedy in the same style as this - a must watch!

This queen is informed!

its a tragedy that there is not sequels to this movie. or a series on any stream service.

There was talk about a sequel but there's been no development.

Def one of the better R rated action/comedies that’s been made in the last 20 years. Gosling being able to show off his comedic chops was a pleasant surprise. Shane Black has a long list of great writing credits… the Lethal Weapon franchise, The Last Boy Scout and more

I agree with your whole assessment.

This is one of my fav reactions ever. I also went into this a couple years ago with zero expectations...hadn't even heard of it and it instantly became my new favorite. Watched it maybe 5 times in the next month. Two great movies come to mind for different reasons. The Big Short - Gosling is great but it's just an awesome movie Midnight Run - Great mid 80's buddy cop flick starring Deniro and Charles Grodin. IMO, two best buddy cop movies ever... Midnight Run and 48hrs Again, great reaction! -Peace

A movie you may like is called Night Shift. Starring Michael Keaton And Henry Winkler. Directed by Ron Howard. They run a call girl service out of a morgue.

never saw this one, guess I HAVE to see it now. ever seen boondock saints? pretty funny violence in it

A spiritual sequel to L.A. Confidential. Too bad Guy Pierce had to pull out.

Check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005).

We need an hbo series with these two

Fantastic reaction to a fantastic movie.

The dead body up against the tree was Robert Downey Jr

It's not a comedy in the least. But you should definitely see the movie Drive with Ryan Gosling.

I. Fucking. Love. This movie.

This is a great movie

Such a great movie! Also a great reaction:)

Movie is funny as hell

This is a great double feature with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Love this Movie❤

Great movie.

They didn't make a sequel - this movie didn't do that well at the box office and is criminally underrated. However, there is another movie that you must watch since it is clear that you love this one - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It is written by Shane Black, the same guy who wrote this and some other great movies you should check out if you haven't already, including The Long Kiss Goodnight and Predator (he even starred as one of Arnold's men in Predator also). Anyway, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is another buddy-cop type movie (though neither of the main characters are are cops) that is full-on hilarious just like The Nice Guys. These two movies together are some of the funniest things on film in my opinion - much funnier than most strictly comedy films - right up there with other hilarious movies that aren't strictly comedies like the Coen Brothers' movie Raising Arizona (which is in my top 10 movies of all time and one of my three all time favorite comedies. The Coen Brothers have made some of the funniest films ever in my opinion, and I feel like Shane Black is like a brother from another mother to them so to speak.) Anyway definitely check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and also check out The Long Kiss Goodnight - which is yet another buddy cop type movie that rules. It's not as funny as The Nice Guys or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but it is still a super cool and sometimes funny movie that I'm sure you would really like.

I love comedies where every single character is a shitshow.
