The Nice Guys (2016) is by far the funniest movie I’ve seen released in the last 10 years. The movie is well reviewed, had an immensely popular lead (Gosling) along with a familiar Hollywood legend (Crowe) yet it doesn’t seem to have reached the fame or icon status of a Superbad or The Hangover. In fact, it sold so poorly that they didn’t even make a sequel. I guess my question is why? And is the transcendent, blockbuster comedy movie dead?
