Don't Tell Larry

Not for the faint of a heart but what a journey this movie was! It starts slow and builds until you find yourself oddly invested in the strange sequence of events these characters find themselves in.

I'll be the first to admit it may not be everyone's type of humor but my family was laughing throughout. If you want formula-driven, run-of-the-mill movie, this is not for you! On the other hand, if you want something different and are ready for a wild ride that will make you uncomfortable at times, definitely watch it! The story line has the perfect balance of crazy and reasonable that honestly keeps the audience guessing throughout, not sure of how the adventure will pan out and how the characters will fare.

A hidden gem that takes you along on a wild and crazy (and cringy!) journey. Once you are strapped in, the movie takes a sharp turn or 2, or 3, that makes you fall out of your chair! Had to grip my seat to hold on!

The plot thickens scene by scene as a white lie, followed by an injustice gets blown out of proportion. Again and again and again. How far will the maligned Susan (the believable Patty Guggenheim), and her in-too-deep co-worker Patrick (Kenneth Mosley, master of facial expressions), go to get that carrot at the end of the stick? Or should I say, "raisin?" as they try to navigate their bizarre co-worker, Larry (Kiel Kennedy.)

Solid writing with a lot of hidden gems, and excellent performances by the stellar cast including Ed Begley, Jr, and Dot Marie Jones, who take you along for the ride, makes this a "ya gotta watch" film.

I understand the need to promote one's work, and also the importance of having people leave high reviews and praise. After personally reading many of said reviews and comments on this film, I decided to rent/watch. Perhaps the film I just turned off half way through, is a completely different film?

Did not laugh once, found the premise lackluster and recycled from a sleuth of movies in the past. Waiting for something unique, truly comical, or even interesting simply led to more frustration.

There is nothing gripping about this film, unless you consider gripping your own skull until your head explodes.

You know how an album starts off with a super rocking riff, and you eagerly listen to the entire record, knowing that it is going to be something special? Like The Rolling Stones "sticky fingers" album for example.

Well, save your time, skip this film, and go crank that Stones album.

This movie? Kind of a train wreck.

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.

This is a comedic thriller based off of creative and tense anxiety. It throws you into a need-to-know-more mentality with genius, dark twists and turns. But make sure to pause in between to collect yourself from uproars of laughter. And then question your sense of morality and whether you would follow the same path. I could feel the cringe deep in my bones from second-hand embarrassment but I could not stop watching. Please, do not skip out on this fantastic watch with you feeling immersed in a story of friendship, deceit, and perfect comedic timing. (Make sure to stay and enjoy the credits too ;) )
