Don't Tell Larry

Funny, dark...I laughed, I cringed. The story builds and builds - you just can't wait to see what's going to happen next! Screwball scenarios and antics. Loved the characters especially Larry who is wildly sweet/scary.

This is an "indie" film that has the production value of a mainstream, major studio-backed film. Kudos to the writers, director and producers. The score adds to the enjoyment and suspense, driving the action forward. One of our watch party actually had an ear worm of the itty-bitty raisin song the next day -- how weird is that?.

This film is quite enjoyable. I'm recommending it to all my friends and random people that want to have a good time.

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.

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.

Don't Tell Larry is the kind of dark comedy that sneaks up on you, then hits you with a shovel and politely offers you a drink afterward. With razor-sharp writing and perfect performances, this film walks the tightrope between absurdity and sincerity without missing a beat.

The plot is deceptively simple: dysfunctional friends gets entangled in a lie that spirals hilariously and horrifyingly out of control. But what makes Don't Tell Larry shine is its ability to find humor in the bleakest situations without ever losing emotional weight. The pacing is tight, the dialogue crackles, and the moments of violence are so unexpected and bizarre, you can't help but laugh (and then wonder what that says about you).

Standout performances from the entire cast, especially the actor who plays Larry (without spoiling anything, just wow), make this film unforgettable. There's a subtle commentary here on guilt, loyalty, and how far people will go to achieve their goals all wrapped in a twisted little package of chaos.

If you like your comedy with a shot of dread and a chaser of moral ambiguity, Don't Tell Larry is your kind of ride.

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.
