History YMMV / GoodTime

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Nick is heavily implied to have Down syndrome and wears hearing aids, while Connie is a {{manipulative|Bastard}} [[TheSociopath sociopath]] with no real positive personality traits (save for the fact he does seem to love his brother, though that doesn't stop him from involving him in a bank robbery). Corey seems to have issues, too, being an ExtremeDoormat prone to mood swings with a short attention span.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Robert Pattinson had been rectifying his post-''Twilight'' reputation for years with [[Film/TheRover meaty]] [[Film/TheLostCityOfZ supporting roles]], but ''Good Time'' really made waves for him as a different kind of leading man.

* {{Squick}}: Connie [[spoiler: making out with Crystal, who’s only ''sixteen years old'']]. Granted, it was originally meant to [[spoiler: [[KissOfDistraction distract her from the sight of his headshot on the TV]], but we later see them in the beginning stages of getting physically intimate on her bed, which seems entirely like a choice on Connie's behalf. If it weren’t for Ray’s sudden appearance, it’s heavily implied they would’ve ''taken it further'']].

* JerkassWoobie: [[ManipulativeBastard Connie]] is a manipulative, thieving scumbag through and through, but all he really wants is to be reunited with his [[MoralityPet brother]] and have somewhere for them to live comfortably in (clearly something they ''never'' had growing up. Also take into consideration that he likely has no one else on the entire planet who actually gives a crap about him, which depending on who you ask might well be his own fault but still it’s hard not pity the poor guy at the end...

* LoveToHate: Ray is a [[SirSwearsALot foul-mouthed]], criminal scumbag just like Connie, save for a lack of sympathetic qualities, but Buddy Duress’s [[LargeHam scene-stealing performance]] and oftentimes hilarious lines as well as his long uncut monologue [[FlashBack fleshing out his backstory]], [[SignatureScene a scene many critics and viewers describe as a highlight of the film]], make him hard to outright despise. [[spoiler: Some were even saddened by his death, [[AssholeVictim even if he totally had it coming]]]].

* ActorAllusion: Robert Pattinson is once again [[Film/{{Twilight}} breaking-and-entering and making out with teen girls]], although this time round it's unambigiously portrayed as creepy and wrong.
