Why We Had to Kill Bitch

At first I thought-Oh, God, another student film catastrophe what with the heavily "dutched" initial segment and the fadeouts into titled sections etc. However, I toughed it out and am rather glad I did. The characters are stereo"typical" midwest[middle-Atlantic?] "slacker" sorts -the narrating one the cliched loafer student in a film program, there's some over-the-top acting [esp. by the "prof" cast member] that could have been toned down a bit...but on the whole a tres droll picaresque jaunt through semi-credible situations. And I quite enjoyed the "at the Improv" scene. The film does have some rough spots, and there are some lame "look at what the help does when the boss/mgr. is not on top of things" cheap yucks but amazingly they seem to work in this flick which normally I would claim to be far too long for its worth...but in this case I wanted a bit more. Not however the lengthy post-flick outtake elements which were not required-I know lots of people like them, I do not. The title is not really flattering and may turn some off but is apropos to the subject. One wonders if the Dave Matthews Band paid for product placement or if it was just an homage by the writer/producer/director. But I will look forward to this group's next effort. Why we had to kill 'Bitch' is like a really, really bad pun. One groans happily when it is finished.

I really enjoyed the outstanding cast of WWHTKB. I saw this film at the Bare Bones International Film Festival, April 2004, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. I've attended a number of film festivals, and have seen tons of films, but this comedy really stood out for me. I thought EVERY cast member presented an awesome performance, the script was well written, the camera angles and lighting were all effective, the settings were very realistic, and the scenes presented a crazy, strange and funny story.

Way to go JP, cast and crew of this film! Looking forward to your next project.

Well, Why Not!? I liked "WWHTKB." It made me laugh, the acting was strong and the characters were entertaining, the plot was quirky and the dialogue was tight.

Congrats to JP for writing and directing "WWHTKB" and having the drive and passion to get his project out there on quite a few movie screens.

If you enjoy movies like Clerks and Mallrats, you will enjoy watching this.

...and about Josh Thomas' review - damn, what a bitter reviewer he is! Please, don't base your decision on his review.... track down and watch this film and make your own decision!

WWHTKB. JP Nickel...Greg Caridi...Kristen Pfiefer...and several other impressive "young" actors. This is a film enjoyable on many levels. While I often have trouble making sure my parents or a relative, etc, has caught the humor in a cartoon or theatrical work of the day, this film right here is the bomb. An excellent first film from a growing director/screenwriter/actor, WWHTKB IS one of the best feel-good family comedies. Coupled with the award winning short film " Grim" on the DVD, this is an essential movie. Unless, of course, you're a Danielle Steel fan.....but you wouldn't be here anyway if you were, would you?

IMDb....home of the Indie!! IMDb exists for stuff like this.

I saw WWTKB at a screening and it was one of those movies that just stayed with me. I would be out with my buddies days/weeks later and say, "Dude, this reminds me of the scene in a great indie I saw." After the 20th time saying it, I finally ordered a copy of the film online (www.killbitch.com) and introduced my friends to the world that is "Bitch." :) To everyone who had a buddy obsess over a lost love to those who work with eccentric co-workers and to those who have even more eccentric friends... this movie is for you. The characters are fun and beyond quirky and the jokes are plentiful and clever (and quick... that's why you'll want to watch it again and again). I HIGHLY recommend it. Grab some friends, a six-pack and kick back. You'll be glad you did.
