It came out sandwiched between \u201cCaptain America: Civil War\u201d and \u201cX-Men: Apocalypse.\u201d It opened against \u201cAngry Birds.\u201d The cartoon birds, Ryan Gosling has lamented, \u201cjust destroyed us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re just so angry,\u201d Gosling once sighed.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, marking its upcoming 10th anniversary this month, \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d has established itself as one of the most beloved comedies of the last decade \u2014 a decade in which Hollywood studios largely left the genre for dead. A 1970s-set comic noir directed and co-written by Shane Black, \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d paired Gosling and Russell Crowe as private eyes in a Los Angeles crime caper that, a decade later, keeps getting better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of interest in \u2018The Nice Guys\u2019 today that wasn\u2019t there when it opened. And the box office will attest to that,\u201d Black deadpanned in a recent interview. \u201cBut people find these things. I think there\u2019s kind of a joy of finding a movie on streaming or rental and then suddenly kind of realizing: How did I miss this? And \u2018The Nice Guys\u2019 was easy to miss.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Now, \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d is almost always on, in reruns on cable or streaming services. Whenever it\u2019s on Netflix, it ranks among the most viewed on the platform. As more have become familiar with the comic talents of Gosling, in \u201cBarbie\u201d or \u201cProject Hail Mary,\u201d fans inevitably ask: \u201cBut have you seen \u2018The Nice Guys?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Black has known box-office smashes; he originated the \u201cLethal Weapon\u201d movies. But he\u2019s come to view films of his that didn\u2019t make money as his favorites. A year before \u201cThe Nice Guys,\u201d he made another cult favorite in \u201cKiss Kiss Bang Bang,\u201d which helped revive Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s career. (Downey makes a cameo as a corpse in \u201cThe Nice Guys.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something to being the king of the midnight movie,\u201d says Black. \u201cIt\u2019s not the most lucrative thing in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comedies go dark<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the 2000s, comedy was a moviegoing staple. The films of Will Ferrell, Judd Apatow and Melissa McCarthy were some of Hollywood\u2019s most lucrative. Movies like \u201cThe Hangover,\u201d \u201cThe 40-Year-Old Virgin\u201d and \u201cBridesmaids\u201d helped define the era.<\/p>\n<p>But as the franchise film grew, and international ticket sales took on greater importance, the big-screen comedy began falling out of favor right around the time Warner Bros.\u2019 \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d (with a $50 million budget) reached theaters, earning about $71 million worldwide at the time. Tastes were also changing. Horror took comedy\u2019s place as the genre of the day.<\/p>\n<p>There are signs that trends may be shifting. This year, \u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d and the just-launched \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u201d have put comedies in front at the multiplex. But over the last decade, funny movies have largely migrated to streaming (Netflix\u2019s pact with Adam Sandler was an early coup) or turned into the stuff of easy-to-miss cult.<\/p>\n<p>Black\u2019s initial germ for the film, writing with Anthony Bagarozzi, was inspired by detective stories like those of William Campbell Gault and Brett Halliday. He\u2019s read so many of them, he says, that \u201cit\u2019s almost a superpower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought: There\u2019s so much joy here,\u201d Black says. \u201cThere\u2019s so much fun in plot and twists and capers. You light a fuse and these guys go on this wild caper, and in the end, it\u2019s just these two guys that are important. You can\u2019t really remember the caper but it was there to service the idea, the shape of: These guys are at it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If \u201cChinatown\u201d is a detective tale about a Los Angeles private eye without a car, \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d is about a gumshoe who can\u2019t smell. Gosling\u2019s Holland March reluctantly joins with Crowe\u2019s Jackson Healy, an enforcer, on a missing girl case. The movie is bright and colorful but set against a seedy LA and the adult film industry. With Holland also is his young but wise daughter, Holly (a preternaturally good Angourie Rice).<\/p>\n<p><strong>An heir to \u2018Midnight Run\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d had an expansive cast, including Kim Basinger, Keith David and, in one of her first big roles, Margaret Qualley. But the heart of the movie is Gosling and Crowe. Neither was especially known for their comic skills at that point. Crowe was coming off the not-exactly-hysterical biblical epic \u201cNoah.\u201d But Black, a believer in the Lowell Ganz-Babaloo Mandel school of comedy (\u201cSplash,\u201d \u201cParenthood\u201d), had an instinct they\u2019d work well together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing is, Ryan is just a good actor,\u201d says Black. \u201cHe\u2019s funny in everything he does. But he didn\u2019t do a lot of outright comedies. For this, the character was not like a \u2018Talladega Nights\u2019 or \u2018Step Brothers.\u2019 It\u2019s not that kind of comedy where everything is pushed. It was a story that an actor could do and basically play a real character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They key for Black is centering the comedy on grounded characters, like the classic buddy movie \u201cMidnight Run,\u201d which paired Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. That approach may have gone missing in a decade where most of the few studio comedies that got made went for high-concept laughs. (See \u201cTag,\u201d a 2018 comedy about adult friends playing tag.)<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cThe Nice Guys,\u201d sleazy and silly, gave Gosling a jumping-off point for some of the most sublime pratfalls in recent memory. Gosling had shown a knack for comedy before, but \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d is his coming-out party. No one has ever had his arm broken, or reached the same high-pitched squeal of pain, like Gosling does in the film. In another scene, on a toilet, he tries to balance a pointed gun and a lit cigarette while lifting his pants and repeatedly kicking the stall door open. It\u2019s a ballet worthy of Buster Keaton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite that he walked in with one day was where he said, \u2018I saw this movie last night with Abbott and Costello where they meet Frankenstein,&#8217;\u201d Black recalls. \u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019d like to maybe give that type of energy a try.\u2019 When he said that, what he really meant was: I\u2019m going to do a pitch-perfect Lou Costello impression sitting next to a tree for 60 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about a sequel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Black is most proud of how much Gosling and Crowe were anxious to do anything that made them look cowardly or stupid or inept. \u201cThey wanted to be antiheroes,\u201d says Black. Crowe has spoken fondly of his experience on the film, crediting Gosling as his only co-star to ever regularly get him to break character.<\/p>\n<p>Thus the inevitable question: So why not a sequel?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of the most common questions I get,\u201d says Black. \u201cThe answer, unfortunately, is nebulous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re saying to a studio: Hey, we want to get these two big stars. It\u2019s going to cost even more this time. You\u2019re going to spend maybe twice the money on a sequel to a movie that didn\u2019t get you what you wanted back,\u201d says Black. \u201cIt\u2019s a tough sell to take a movie that bombed and make a sequel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>But would he do it, if he could?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course,\u201d replies Black. \u201cThis was designed for that. Like I said, it\u2019s a caper. There\u2019s these two and they get in a bunch of trouble and here they go again. You want to see them do it again. There\u2019s a whole bunch of mystery capers you could throw at these guys. You could make a grounded, potentially very interesting, touching movie set not in the \u201970s but perhaps in the \u201980s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Gosling called the London premiere of \u201cThe Nice Guys\u201d a momentous occasion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t at the premiere of \u2018The Godfather\u2019 or \u2018Apocalypse Now,\u2019 but I got a feeling it felt pretty much the same as it does today,\u201d Gosling said. \u201cYou\u2019re looking down the barrel of cinematic history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gosling, of course, was kidding. But cinematic history? Maybe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=56\">Aurora man convicted in 2024 fatal injuries of 10-day-old daughter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=58\">Cosmetic interventions are booming.
