Ten years later, the cult of ‘The Nice Guys’ keeps growing

When “The Nice Guys” debuted 10 years ago, the writing was on the wall for the big-screen comedy. It came out sandwiched between “Captain America: Civil War” and “X-Men: Apocalypse.” It opened against “Angry Birds.” Ryan Gosling has lamented “Angry Birds” “just destroyed us.” And yet, on its upcoming 10th anniversary this month, “The Nice Guys” has established itself as one of the most beloved comedies of the last decade in which Hollywood studios largely left the genre for dead. A 1970s-set comic noir directed and co-written by Shane Black, “The Nice” Guys” paired Gosling and Russell Crowe as private eyes in a Los Angeles crime caper that still keeps getting better.
