Review of A Nice Girl Like You (2020) by R96Sk — 22 Mar 2021
I... 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.
