Don't Tell Larry

This film is so much fun, and awesomely creepy, I watched it twice. Don't Tell Larry, written and directed by Greg Porper and John Schimke, is a hilarious ride that's also surprisingly tense. Each scene pops because it's built on constant "but" and "therefore" moments, keeping the story moving and, at times, pushing me to the edge of my seat.

If you're interested in screenwriting, study this film. It's not just the witty dialogue or the well-drawn characters, it's the constant setups, payoffs, and unexpected twists that make it work so well. Something is always happening that shifts the stakes, and that's brilliant.

The cast is spot-on. Ed Begley Jr. Is a delightfully clueless CEO whose delivery makes him a lovable idiot. Kiel Kennedy as the creepy Larry is an unhinged maniac, his smile alone is unsettling, adding a psychological thriller edge to the comedy. Patty Guggenheim as Susan and Kenneth Mosley as Patrick shine as coworkers who keep landing in the most absurd, hilarious situations.

With a sharp script and a cast that fully commits, Don't Tell Larry is a must-see. It's polished, fast-paced, and endlessly entertaining.

Don't Tell Larry is a charming, offbeat comedy that strikes the right balance between chaos and heart. The chemistry between the actors is spot-on, making their relationships feel both hilarious and genuine. The premise is fun and keeps things entertaining throughout, even if a few scenes run a bit long. Still, the humor and warmth carry the film through its slower moments. Solid production, clever writing, and a playful tone make it an enjoyable watch from start to finish. It's not trying to reinvent the genre, but it knows exactly what it is-a feel-good, comedic break that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This movie is straight up bonkers, like absolutely unhinged in the best way possible. I had no idea what was going on half the time and honestly? Loved that for me. It's got that dark, messed up humor that makes you laugh and then immediately question if you're okay. Total escape from reality too, like everything is so over the top and chaotic it makes regular life feel like boring af. The characters are all a mess, but weirdly relatable, and the story just keeps going off the rails in the most entertaining way. It's like if someone turned a fever dream and a meme dump into a film. Not for everyone but if your brain's already a little fried from life, this movie hits different. I will watch this movie again after I have some time to recover.

Great movie! This dark comedy was full of action and had me laughing one minute and then on the edge of my seat the next minute. Great pacing with the twist and turns from one scene to the next.. Really enjoyed how well this filmed was executed from the incredibly intricate storyline, to the well written scenes and the wonderful casting of each character.. Honestly, I can't say enough great things about the ensemble cast that made this movie amazing! . Everyone played a part, no matter how big or small each role added to the hilarious voyage this movie took you on. I highly recommend this. It's got some famous people in it and some up and comers that we will probably see a lot more soon!

This film is like a throwback to great scrren comedies like The Jerk, Airplane, Caddyshack, or Planes Trains and Automobiles... but it is entirely unique. It really is THAT good. I saw it in a crowded theater, and I think the whole audience was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the writing, the acting, the way it all unfolds at a mad level... and the surprises that kept building up to absurd levels. The crowd was literally roaring with laughter. By the end of it, I was nearly crying from having laughed so much. The screwball pacing is just so, so perfect.

Much of the cast are members of The Groundlings, who gave us talents like Pee Wee Herman, Phil Hartman, Larraine Newman, and more members of the SNL cast than I can count. These people are the cream of the crop of the next great comedy stars.

Kiel Kennedy, as the title character, needs to be watched. He's the next Will Ferrell. Patty Gugenheim, Dot-Marie Jones, Tina Parker, Kenneth Mosely... every single one of them is A-level, top of their game FUNNY.

I can't wait to see what Writer/ Directors Greg Porper and John Schimke do next. I think these guys are like The Zucker Brothers meet The Coen Brothers meet Irving Thalberg, Frank Capra and John Waters on steroids. SEE THIS MOVIE.
