F*** Marry Kill

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.

It was decent for a casual watch. I can see why it's labelled as a comedy, it often felt unintentionally funny, even during the serious scenes. Definitely gives off a low-budget vibe with a plot that feels like a vacation read-light, messy, and not to be taken seriously.

It's not a film that demands much from you, which makes it okay for time pass. The story doesn't go too deep and some parts are a bit too convenient, but nothing unbearable. Not something I'd revisit, but fine for what it is.

The lead actress is quite pretty, and that honestly helped keep things watchable. Its a light comedy.

I never had a single laugh, every comedic attempt fell flat. It might be because of younger target audience but even when I was younger the comedy would not have worked. Every character annoyed to the point of hoping they would shut up. If only studios put more effort into script development before filming.

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.
