Good Dick is a 2008 comedy drama film written and directed by Marianna Palka. Palka also stars in the film, opposite her then-husband Jason Ritter. Good Dick premiered in the Dramatic Competition of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
A video store clerk stalks, spies on and manipulates a reclusive woman, who often comes to the video store where he works to rent soft-core porn. Eventually, despite his strong optimism, her dislike of sex and resulting defensiveness drives them apart. It is revealed toward the end of the film that her dislike of both sex and relationships was fueled by sexual abuse at the hands of her father. The film ends with a confrontation with her father, and ultimately Ritter's character reuniting with her.
