Mr. Nice Guy

About This Movie

So, you’ve got this film, Mr. Nice Guy, from '87. It’s a real oddball mix of comedy and mob antics. The pacing feels pretty frenetic, like they knew they had to keep the laughs coming with each twist and turn. The characters are exaggerated, especially the hitman trying to juggle his upcoming wedding and hiding his shady career. The practical effects are charming in their own way, not overly polished but they work for the zany narrative. There’s a certain light-heartedness that makes the darker themes a bit less heavy. Performances are varied, but there’s definitely a chemistry that helps hold it all together. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy for sure, which makes it stand out a bit more in the genre.

Great for collectors who appreciate offbeat comedies.The blend of practical effects and humor is a nice throwback.Interesting character dynamics keep the story engaging.
