"Nick and Nicky" is a modern day screwball comedy and murder mystery inspired by the many classic Hollywood comedies of the 1930s and 40s. Essentially, the movie invokes the sparkling, witty spirit of these films and recreates it in an upscale, modern day, gay setting. The two primary characters are a very wealthy, attractive, gay couple, one older, the other younger who have returned to New York City in order to get married. However, they end up embarking on a crime solving adventure.
