Good Dick

This was actually a good Indie movie with a pretty good but different type of plot. It starts out great and you can see the potential of the movie. The character are developed quite well and even the director/star does a great job overall.

You do like the quirky characters and the story line develops well, but then all of a sudden Tom Arnold appears in a cameo father appearance. Then the movie sinks from that point. The main character gains her independence and overcomes her fears, but the explanation is lacking at how she achieved this. The movie music kicks in and you kind of wish there was a better explanation than just her missing this homeless video clerk.

This could have been a movie I wanted to recommend but just can't. Interesting beginning, good middle, but a let down in the end.



Netflix Summary:

Habitually isolated in her quiet apartment, a vulnerable girl (Marianna Palka) with a penchant for soft-core porn ventures out to a local video store, where she meets a store clerk (Jason Ritter) who vows to break down her emotional walls and win her affections. But as he pursues her in bizarre fashion, it's clear that their budding relationship will be anything but conventional. Lead actress and screenwriter Palka makes her directorial debut.
