SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Manhattanite Beth (Alexis Bledel) finds her fledgling romance with Wall Streeter Tommy (Scott Porter) complicated by the introduction of Daniel (Bryan Greenberg), Tommy's co-worker. Some guys seem to have it all: good looks, easy charm, and easy money. Tommy Fielding is one of those guys. Riding a streak of good fortune and a budding romance that could finally be the real thing, the rising young star on Wall Street chooses to spread the wealth, taking his seemingly hapless co-worker Daniel under his wing. But in teaching Daniel the ways of money and seduction, Tommy could become the unwitting agent of his own downfall. As the pressure builds for Tommy at work and in his new relationship, 'The Good Guy' gives a true insider view of the culture of Wall Street and explores what it means to be 'good' in that world. The answer might surprise you.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
DePietro creates characters, dialogue and situations that feel authentic (...) The result is a more-clever-than-most window into modern urban yuppie mating rituals" (Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times)

----------------------------------------
"'The Good Guy'’’ could have been a decent anthropological survey of the Wall Street wilderness (...) It instead wants to be a romantic drama. That’s a mistake (...) Greenberg is the only thing to recommend about the movie (...) Rating: *1/2 (out of four)" (Wesley Morris: Boston Globe)

----------------------------------------
"There's too little difference between the good guys and the bad guys in Julio DePietro's uninspired debut, a slickly cynical romance destined to be quickly forgotten" (Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News)
