Killing Mary Sue

Writer, director, Editor James Sunshine has a carnival in his head and he's put it all into this fantastic movie. Centering around an unwitting yet apt female hero, this movie will make you laugh out loud and make you cover your eyes from the horror, all in the same 10 seconds. This movie is very well cast with the likes of Martin Cove, Dermot Mulrooney, and Katie Killiacky, supporting-the breakout performance of actress Sierra McCormick as Mary Sue. This film won best picture at the Los Angeles independent film festival just last month, and I predict we'll be seeing big things from this director in the future. Very well done!

Had so much fun watching this film that was filled with surprising, clever, and laugh out loud moments all throughout. Creative, original, funny, dark and truly entertaining alongside excellent performances by the cast. I went in to the movie knowing nothing about it and surely didn't expect the wild ride that ensued. In a world where movies are increasingly re-makes or derivatives of other ideas it was so refreshing to watch something that was so novel in both its inception and execution. I look forward to watching again to catch many of the nuances that I most assuredly missed the first time around.

So Mary Sue has a bit of baggage but every female superhero does, right? This film takes us on a joy ride of discovery, mayhem, humor, and tragedy. The sudden plot twists and stories within stories take us in a very entertaining and engaging romp. I can't believe that I became totally infatuated with the main character Mary Sue and I worried when she had self issues to deal with but was excited for her when she came to terms with who she is and where she is headed. My wife had issues with some of the violent bits but the action in this film was necessary to understand Mary Sue and to see what a few unpleasant moments in her life has done to shape her into the powerful woman that takes charge of her life going forward. I loved the fun and the film and hope to see much more from this fabulous team.

I had the opportunity to watch this movie with an audience and people were laughing and having a good time, it's not a serious movie it's silly and absurd and just entertaining great great performances from all the actors, lots and lots of fun. This film is unique nothing like anything I've seen before from start to finish keeps you interested it's the kind of movie you can watch more than once... happily. The main character who plays Mary Sue Sierra McCormick does a great job as does Martin Kove and Dermont Mulroney and Jake Busey all phenomenal performances and all the actors and actresses whose names you don't know did great jobs as well thoroughly enjoyed and was entertained from start to finish.

This is pure fun. I've worked with Mr. Sunshine before and I love his deliberate uncomprimising sense of humor. I'm a huge Dermot Mulroney fan and where else are you going to see Dermot, Jake Busey and Martin Cove in the same film? Sierra McCormick plays Mary Sue and makes her believable - which is no easy task in this delightfully nutball romp. She kills the action scenes -- reminiscent of Kick Ass but with her (and Sunshine's) unique vibe. This is an action movie with most of the action shot in camera and therefore has that wonderful tender loving care feel of the movies I love. See this film and enjoy!
