Good Bad Things

Have watched this movie several times, both in theater and on Amazon and truly love the story, the acting and the quiet way in which Danny gets into our hearts and how his story uncovers the universality of love, self-acceptance and doubts that plague all abilities. Authentic, funny, sad and novel and a true lesson about one's own implicit biases.

Danny is a compelling presence and when you experience his life that he bravely shares in the fictional character of himself, you come away with great respect. Kudos to the friendship that gave rise to this idea and to the Director who saw it through.

I must say I loved this movie. "Good Bad Things" is more than just a love story; it's a testament to resilience, the pursuit of happiness, and the universal desire to be seen and loved for who we truly are. My partner and I watched it on Amazon and laughed and cried. This film is a beautiful reminder that, despite life's challenges, love remains a powerful and transformative force.

I hope that more films like this are made. A talented cast. Beautiful filmmaking. Raw and honest. As an artist, I must say, I loved the way creativity became the driving force that united the lovers. I highly recommend this movie.

I fell in love with the characters in this movie. Strong, original storyline and loads of charismatic actors. But the difference-maker is the sensitive and patent direction. It moves with swiftness, humor, pain, and beauty, and I came to see the world very differently at movie's end. The film tracks a few casual days in an extraordinary man's life and before long I came to understand why all those around him love him so much. This movie is about love, about triumph of spirit, and about the strengths we draw from our family and friends during our darkest times. I laughed and cried. One of my most favorite movies ever. A must see!

Shane D. Stanger's Good Bad Things (2024) is a touching and inspiring film about the power of love in all its forms. With an engaging tale, outstanding acting, and stunning photography, this film is a must-see for anybody who believes in the transformational power of love. Simple story follows an app developer falling in love in a gorgeous photographer... but disability of one of the partners always rases doubts... is it real love, or is it something else?

One of the most notable aspects of Good Bad Things is the wonderful chemistry between the principal performers Danny Kurtzman and particularly Jessica Parker Kennedy, who excels as Madi - both subtle and compelling, as she moves through the depths of her character's emotions with grace and honesty. Her acting adds dimension to the film, and it's impossible not to root for her character's path to happiness.

"Love is the best part of life, and all we have to do is take a leap," a sentence told by Dannu's father, resonates throughout every scene of this delightful rom-com drama!

Danny (Danny Kurtzman) has MS and is recovering from a breakup. He and his best friend Jason (Brett Dier) own a small struggling ad company. They need to land the account of dating app company Rubi. Danny reluctantly signs up and gets a surpising match to beautiful photographer Madi (Jessica Parker Kennedy).

First, I'm not sure about their ad company. They don't seem to have any clients. They are working out of this big house. They have a few employees. I guess they could be a struggling ad company for good reasons. I thought they would use his naked pictures for their ad pitch as a closing scene. My other problem is some of the dialogue and monologues. They go on a little too long. They could be tighter and thereby be more impactful. I do like Danny's body image issue. Of course, Danny makes this indie a little different.
