GOOD DICK Trailer
I’ve rented pornos at several videostores, but never (intentionally*) at Cinefile — where I usually get stuff I can’t find anywhere else — so I can’t tell if their clerks have the habit of advising customers on the quality (or lack thereof) of their sex-film offerings. That’s the starting point of writer-director-co-producer Marianna Palka’s romantic comedy Good Dick, in which Palka stars as a reclusive woman with a porn fixation whose local videostore clerk (Jason Ritter) falls for her. The questions are: is he as big as those guys in the sex industry? And if so, is that enough?
In Salon, Andrew O’Hehir calls Good Dick a "dark, sweet and sophisticated confection that might find a surprisingly large audience," while Cinematical’s Scott Weinberg says it is "one of the most non-traditional romantic comedies you’ll ever see. Hell, it’s not even very romantic — although it is very funny in a casually dark and disconcerting sort of way."
Also in the Good Dick cast: Eric Edelstein, Mark Webber, Martin Starr, Tom Arnold, Charles Durning, Jesse Garcia, and Jeremy Glazer.
Good Dick opens at the Nuart (right next door to Cinefile) in Los Angeles on October 10 and at the Sunshine Theater in New York City on October 17.

* Once I rented a gay-themed film whose titles escapes me, but shortly after I began playing the DVD — featuring lots of hunky naked guys having a hell of a good time — I realized that what I was watching wasn’t what I’d thought I’d rented.

What a title. I’m not being prissy I just think it’s a weird title.
When I read it the first time I thought it meant GOOD DETECTIVE.
It’s weird. Doesn’t mean the movie is weird. Maybe it’s even good. BUT THE TITLE IS WEIRD.
