The Good Guy, a story of twentysomething love and Wall Street traders starring Alexis Bledel and Scott Porter, left most critics feeling like they'd seen this movie before.
- Ella Taylor, Village Voice: It "suffers from the dreary want of imagination about the specificity of twentysomething life that has sunk so many other specimens of this battered genre."
- Kyle Smith, New York Post: It's "not just a shabby Wall Street knockoff clogged with dull, jargon-spewing trading-desk scenes that fail to advance the plot in any way. It's also a nondescript Sex and the City retread."
