Trick
- It’s really clunky for such a run time. It’s almost as if they only had enough story for a short, so added lots of filler to get to the official run time of ‘a movie’
- In fact, what it does feel like? A rejected pilot. Which is really quite sad, because I would have watched the shit out of that show.
- Kat Dennings is the the saving grace of the film. The issue? She’s not in it nearly as much as she should be.
Treat
- The aforementioned Kat Dennings. I’m not entirely sure she’s ever acting and, instead, offering up herself in whoever she plays. That said, I do not care. She’s awesome, she improves a film 1000%.
- Matthew Gray Gubler is perfect for this role and scenes with Dennings just give him a spotlight to shine. It really is just a shame that they’re both bogged down with a raft of ‘other’ that makes the film hard to engage with.
Final Thoughts
I liked the attempted story, just not the execution.
