Most Likely to Murder

I've never taken the time to review a movie before. But don't trust the low scores! It's a decent crime/comedy movie with good acting

...honestly, it's neither. Really, there's not a funny joke in the movie. There's a lot of angst, a guy down on his luck, with honestly no redeeming qualities, the acting is lousy, the jokes aren't funny, and the mystery isn't the least bit intriguing. It left me feeling cheated, and I watched it for free. Avoid this at all costs.

I first came across Adam Pally from his time on, "The Mindy Project" and thought he was hilarious. Fortunately, he brought his slapstick comedy A game to this movie as well! Rachel Bloom is a powerhouse in any role and perfectly captures the personality of a jaded high school sweetheart. I also find her mannerisms in this movie especially funny.

It's a light hearted, often cringey (in a good way) comedy, with a simple message about post-high school personal growth. I look forward to more Dan Gregor movies in the future!!

This movie is absolutely perfect. Any review under 10 stars simply must have missed the boat. I have now watched this film 6 times and everyone I have recommended it to has freakin loved it. Perhaps it's so regionally specific and relatable to me being class of '03 from the N.Y./N.J. area, but I find this movie to be spot on through its cleverly campy storytelling. This is the tale of someone in their early 30s coming to grips with their failures and lost connections, while discovering who they thought they were isn't who they need to become. There aren't nearly enough stories out there representing this weird time in our lives, and Adam Pally seriously nails it. The writing is great. The cast is spectacular. The story is hilarious, endearing, smart, well written and totally unexpected. Please give this movie the credit it so deserves!!

I was just seeing if Rachel Bloom had been in anything besides Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and found this movie. I didn't see a lot of enthusiasm for it, but I have a special fondness for comedic murder mysteries so I couldn't resist.

The movie is about a guy, Billy who was a popular douche in high school and is now an unsuccessful douche in the real world. He goes back to his hometown where he finds the ex-girlfriend he dumped then never got over is dating the guy he used to torture in high school. After that guy's mother dies, he develops the idea that it was MURDER!

The main character is an awful person, but he's amusing in his awfulness, and I laughed at things like him tooling around town on a scooter. The story itself does a good job of keeping just enough mystery going while never losing sight of the ridiculousness of the protagonist. There are some great bits, like a cop's pregnant wife who flirts blatantly with Billy while screaming at her husband about the smell of pears, and the last, most frenetic moments of the film almost reach hilarious.

Overall it's a pretty minor movie, but if you like comedy mysteries, which is a very underserved sub-genre in the modern day, I would definitely recommend this.

Blooms part, by the way, is quite small so I wouldn't watch it just for her. But I'm glad her name lead me to it.
