This movie is absolutely perfect. Any review under 10 stars simply must have missed the boat. I have now watched this film 6 times and everyone I have recommended it to has freakin loved it. Perhaps it's so regionally specific and relatable to me being class of '03 from the N.Y./N.J. area, but I find this movie to be spot on through its cleverly campy storytelling. This is the tale of someone in their early 30s coming to grips with their failures and lost connections, while discovering who they thought they were isn't who they need to become. There aren't nearly enough stories out there representing this weird time in our lives, and Adam Pally seriously nails it. The writing is great. The cast is spectacular. The story is hilarious, endearing, smart, well written and totally unexpected. Please give this movie the credit it so deserves!!
I first came across Adam Pally from his time on, "The Mindy Project" and thought he was hilarious. Fortunately, he brought his slapstick comedy A game to this movie as well! Rachel Bloom is a powerhouse in any role and perfectly captures the personality of a jaded high school sweetheart. I also find her mannerisms in this movie especially funny.
It's a light hearted, often cringey (in a good way) comedy, with a simple message about post-high school personal growth. I look forward to more Dan Gregor movies in the future!!

The point is that the protagonist is a garbage person. So many reviews saying "Adam Pally is so unlikable" that's the point.
It's not boring, it's funny enough, it's less than 2 hours long. It does its job of being a comedy murder mystery, and you really don't get that genre at all, so give it a try
...honestly, it's neither. Really, there's not a funny joke in the movie. There's a lot of angst, a guy down on his luck, with honestly no redeeming qualities, the acting is lousy, the jokes aren't funny, and the mystery isn't the least bit intriguing. It left me feeling cheated, and I watched it for free. Avoid this at all costs.
I gave this a 7 because it is a cute movie that gave me consistent chuckles throughout and kept my attention. The protagonist is a guy you love to hate. It has a good cast of quirky characters that were well-played. The murder story line also had some good twists. Was it "I laughed so hard I cried" funny? No. But it is an amusing movie overall & worth a watch.
