F***, Marry, Kill is watchable but don't expect to be mesmerized by it. I liked the fast pace of it so you never get the feeling of getting bored but sometimes the story felt like an episode of one of those television comedy series that have been airing like forever. The acting was decent, the mystery was okay until the second part of the movie where it became obvious who the killer was, well at least to me so I wasn't surprised by the revealing of the culprit. As for the comedy it was just a bit bland, nothing hilarious. All in all it's worth a watch but I won't remember anything about it in a couple days.

You know what this movie is. Seriously, you've definitely seem something like this before. It's a cute but forgettable romantic comedy, with a nice little murder mystery side plot (because some murder is always good). And you know what? It does exactly what it sets out to do. It's not profound, or original, or particularly exhilarating. But it's entertaining, silly, and fun. I mean, if you've ever seen a Lucy Hale movie, you know exactly what you're getting into.

I'd argue that it's predominantly a romcom, but the murder mystery angle is really fun. It was definitely a creative way to spice up the genre. Again, nothing amazing here, but a good enough time.

I'm a big Lucy Hale fan... I think she's gorgeous and can act. That's why I gave this movie a shot. But honestly? It just fell short.

First off, I couldn't feel any real chemistry between the cast, it was awkward. You know those movies where you can almost see the sparks fly? Well, this wasn't one of them. The jokes didn't help either; they felt super forced and predictable, like someone wrote "something funny goes here" in the script.

I read other reviews and other people even said Lucy's humor "fell completely flat" and that she just doesn't click with her co-star here

Then there's the acting...it's kinda weird. People in this film say and do things like they're reading cue cards, not having real conversations. Normal folks don't talk or act like that. I wanted to give it a fair shot, I really did, but by the end I wished I'd bounced earlier.

Bottom line: Lucy Hale is great as always, but this movie? Not worth the time. No chemistry, cringe-y lines, and weird reactions... I regret sticking it out.

Director Laura Murphy offers us a romantic comedy with thriller overtones that is quite acceptable, thanks to the charisma of its protagonists who fit perfectly into a fun script.

Starring Lucy Hale, Virginia Gardner and Brooke Nevin in a comedy that offers us a purely female project that is quite enjoyable because it has an entertaining story to tell and that takes great advantage of the versatility of its protagonists, especially Lucy Hale, who carries on her shoulders all the high moments of the film.

It has a couple of games with interesting secondary characters and awkward situations that are funny and that allows us to never have a point of disconnection with the story, even though at times it loses a bit of the initial force that it brings.

It's a slightly fun ride in terms of its various situations, but it will always be far from consolidating itself as one of the great comedies that came to us in 2024. It has good direction behind it and a successful cast that make the most of the high points of its script, but they also fall when the film gets tangled up in its own path of being able to identify well where it wants to take its entire premise, but it must be granted that they handle its final twist well although one could smell that it was coming.

It works for those who enjoy simple, feminist comedies with appealing cast elements. If you're looking for something more sophisticated, this film won't take you too far out of your comfort zone, but it ends up being enjoyable nonetheless.

Okay, the premise sounds really bleh on paper though it's Lucy Hale, Virginia Gardner, and the rest of the cast making it all work to some extent. It's kinda like Scream with online dating at its forefront, but the horror/gore element is dumbed down so much, especially for an R-rated movie. For me, the film works when it's a nice little raunchy comedy with a central mystery; however, it falls flat as a horror film. Even when the writing throws in way too many red herrings, the final reveal somehow was refreshingly twisted. I think I enjoyed it more than expected, owing to its characters all being millennials for a change, as opposed to Gen Zs, which is generally the case (I'm looking at you Time Cut). It handles the "being single in your 30s" bit rather enjoyably, with reasonably funny banter.
