Good Bad Things (2024) is an indie romantic comedy-drama about Danny, a disillusioned entrepreneur with muscular dystrophy who reluctantly ventures into online dating. When he matches with an enigmatic photographer, the experience challenges him to confront his vulnerabilities and embrace a profound journey of self-acceptance and love.
 
The film has been praised by critics for its grounded realism, emotional depth, and refusal to sugarcoat the realities of physical disability, all while delivering a heartfelt romantic story.
 
“Good Bad Things” is an intimate, small story about the gigantic issue that challenges and terrifies us all: the collision between the desperate need to be seen and loved and the fear that what people might see will repel rather than attract them. Written by lifelong friends Shane D. Stanger (who also directed) and Danny Kurtzman (who also stars as a character named Danny), it is partly inspired by Kurtzman’s experiences as a person with muscular dystrophy.”
– Roger Ebert
