F*** Marry Kill

This film's attempt to blend comedy and romance falls flat, leaving a disjointed and ultimately unsatisfying experience. The humor feels forced, relying on tired tropes and predictable punchlines, while the romantic subplot lacks any genuine chemistry between the leads. The dialogue is clunky and unnatural, further hindering any emotional connection with the characters. It's evident that the producers failed to grasp the nuances of the rom-com genre. A more thorough study of successful films like 'When Harry Met Sally...' or 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' would have been beneficial. Instead, we're left with a poorly executed mishmash that misses the mark on both comedic timing and romantic sincerity.

While I was not familiar with the 2024 movie "F*** Marry Kill" from director Laura Murphy, I opted to watch it as I had the opportunity to do so here in 2025. Truth be told, I didn't know hat I was in for, and thus had no expectations to the movie. So I suppose that director Laura Murphy had every opportunity to entertain and impress me.

Writers Ivan Diaz, Dan Scheinkman and Meghan Brown put together a fair enough script and storyline, though the narrative was a bit mundanely paced. I was sort of missing more thrills and excitement in the movie. But the writers concocted a narrative that paces along in a monotonous pace, and there wasn't really a lot of thrills to be experiences throughout the course of the 97 minutes that the movie ran for.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from actor Jedidiah Goodacre. And I do enjoy watching unfamiliar talents on the screen when I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were good.

A bit disappointing, but overall a watchable enough movie for what it was. It was, though, a somewhat forgettable and bland thriller.

My rating of director Laura Murphy's 2024 movie "F*** Marry Kill" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The movie moves at a good pace and doesn't overstay its welcome. There is some good humor in the movie. And finally, the reveal of the killer was definitely surprising.

The mystery aspect of the movie was very dull and there are too many red hearings. The movie goes for multiple plot twists and it wasn't executed very well. And finally, the resolution to this movie wasn't very satisfying.

Overall, F Marry Kill (2024) is a pretty mediocre attempt at a comedy mystery thriller, but I would recommend it if you need some background noise. I.

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.

There is a ridiculous flaw in this film, which is that not one single person seems dissuaded not only from online dating, but insist on using the very app used by a serial killer to rack up his victims.

Let's just ignore that, because this entire film is completely propped up by its array of wacky and likeable characters and their amusing banter and many undersold low key clever moments.

Many of today's adjacent fare rely on completely used up formulas of constant reliance on not only using tropes, but outright pointing them out.

This one doesn't lean on pop culture and film references, apart from a highly amusing salute to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" in one scene.

There is an energy and wit here usually found in decent comedic films or some of the better and more successful sitcoms.
