Film ThreatJamie Tipps
In the vast wasteland of romantic comedies, this lovely film defies the tired genre. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesCarina Chocano
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 -- and touchingly old-fashioned. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
This unlikely micro-budgeted project is written and directed by Marianna Palka, who also plays the female lead. The guy is portrayed by her real-life boyfriend, Jason Ritter (son of the late John). Their performances are quite remarkable and their chemistry is palpable, even if Good Dick is primarily intended for more adventurous moviegoers. Read full review

An annoying example of self-therapy posing as art. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyTim Grierson
It feels provocative but inconclusive -- brimming with intriguing ideas about love's dark underbelly but not quite confident enough to pull them off. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNoel Murray
Mainly, Good Dick just proves that TV actors like Ritter make good indie-film hires, because they'll go along with whatever ridiculous nonsense a novice filmmaker concocts. Read full review

It is crystal clear who screwed up this tortuously slow-moving romantic drama. Read full review
