    FLIFF 2010: Flim Screening - Nice Guy Johnny & Opening Gala

    Edward Burns (THE BROTHERS MCMULLEN, SHE’S THE ONE) crafted his most comical film to date with the sweet, often surprising charmer, NICE GUY JOHNNY.

    Edward Burns (THE BROTHERS MCMULLEN, SHE’S THE ONE) crafted his most comical film to date with the sweet, often surprising charmer, NICE GUY JOHNNY.

    Johnny, a sports-talk jock on a small west coast AM radio station is devoted to his fiancé’ Claire. She calls all the shots, including convincing Johnny that his gig blabbing to rabid listeners is a dead end road with no security, future and all the things she wants in life –and she sure he wants too – even if he’s not so sure himself. Claire has arranged for Johnny to fly back to NY, where they both have their roots, and meet with her Dad. Dad in return will arrange an interview with a local manufacturer who has an opening for a bright, young, energetic executive-in-training.

    With pangs of hesitancy, Johnny flies off solo to The Big Apple repeating a silent mantra that this is all for the best. In NY he is picked up by his Uncle Terry (Burns), a lovable rogue/screw-up/womanizer who has lots of plans for Johnny to cram into his very brief trip. Johnny did not sign on for any of this, but is conscripted into Uncle Terry’s evolving weekend, which eventually leads to the alluring Brooke.

    With a dead-on zingers and complications, NICE GUY JOHNNY is a laugh-a-minute blast where Burns’ clever script is supported beautifully by his totally believable cast. Johnny played by Matt Bush (ADVENTURELAND) is the helpless ping pong ball paddled back ‘n forth between Claire, Terry, Claire’s Dad and Johnny’s own hesitation. Kerry Bishe (SCRUBS) is the sweet, sexy, disarming Brooke – set comfortably on the summer sands of The Hamptons. Burns’ Uncle Terry is hysterical – landing feet down in embarrassing situations and delivering his implausible lines brilliantly, as if he thought them up himself…wait a minute…

    The perfect Opener for our 25th Anniversary!
