Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
- This is a solid idea poorly executed. It's a television episode
stretched to feature length, with humor occurring too infrequently. It's
an understated comedy, and if the humor could be maintained and
sustained throughout this could be very good. The jokes that land are
great.
By revealing the killer in the very first scene, the movie seemed poised for a fake out or crazy reveal later, but nothing is done with that. There are a lot of seeds I expected to pay off that didn't. It's a good foundation that needs to be just a bit more absurd.
