F*** Marry Kill

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.

So this movie isn't going to win any Oscar nominations, but it doesn't aim to. It is campy, over-the-top fun. I love Lucy Hale and she is perfect in this movie. It's a silly satire on online dating today, and it is an easy way to spend an hour and a half while you fold your laundry or clean out your email inbox. This one is destined to be a classic, but it held my interest and got a few chuckles out of me. I'm not sure why you have to use soooo many characters to post a review - I prefer brevity myself - but imd is insisting I keep typing. Just go into it with low expectations and you won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

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.
