Surely some of the young woman's porn videos would make better viewing.

Alternately compelling and dramatically limp, the film scores points for exploring unfamiliar territory but lacks the emotional depth to make some very strange behavior believable.
James Greenberg, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
A short and sweet anti-romantic comedy, Good Dick puts together a heav ily depressed young woman with a homeless clerk who rents her porn at a Los Angeles video store.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
As irritatingly monosyllabic as its characters, this indie 'romance' -- the quote marks aren't an accident -- feels over-workshopped and false at almost every point.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Fresh
Dysfunction beguiles in Good Dick, a perverse romantic comedy whose coarse title belies its tender heart.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
