The lead role of Sol Goode is played by Balthazar Getty; other cast include Katharine Towne, Jamie Kennedy, Danny Comden, and Cheri Oteri.
After a one night stand with Tammie, a "low end" girl in the social scene, Sol realizes he has run out of money to pay his share of the rent, and Justin has to reprimand him for not having a job and the possibility that he will have to grow up.
At work, Justin is singled out for a promotion from mail room duty, to become the assistant of the bossy and snappy female Hollywood agent Bernie "Best", and his off hours are devoted to his controlling and manipulative fiancee, Brenda.
During a night out afterwards, Sol sees Chloe share drinks with Happy on a date, while Justin gets drunk and engages with a fling with an old acquaintance, both of them discussing Brenda's notorious reputation.
After successfully overseeing a youth softball game, his parents proudly pass down to him the Goode family heirloom, a golden cup protector, as proof of his maturity.
Vince Leo of Qwipster wrote "Sol Goode gets a recommendation as a romantic comedy, and should especially appeal to those who enjoy films about dating in LA and the wanna-be's in the Hollywood scene."
"[3] Scott Phillips of Monstersatplay.com praised the cast and wrote "While Sol Goode definitely wears its adoration for John Hughes movies on its sleeve, the flick is really more akin to stuff like Swingers and even Free Enterprise.
"[4] TV Guide's review states that, "the game young cast helps freshen writer-director Danny Comden's tale of immature slackers with too much testosterone and too little discipline."
"[5] Gregory Avery of Nitrateonline commented that, "the subplot involving Justin and Brenda turns out to be one of the best things in Sol Goode, which, to its credit, tries to expand to accommodate a number of plot threads and characters in order to give the film more scope and substance.
