    Murder in a fun, cartoon-like environment

    Sarah Jane McKinney (Leslie Bibb) is "Miss Nobody", a secretary for a pharmaceutical company who has no boyfriend but faith that her guiding angel will send her messages as to what she should be doing. Her mother ensures her that everybody lies, so a very smudged resume gets her a promotion to junior executive.

    Sarah Jane is mostly concerned about finding her knight in shining armour since a job is only a job and doesn't warm your heart. Karma, an underlining belief in this film, says that you get what you deserve. She didn't really deserve that promotion, and indeed finds that she lost it after all and is now a secretary for a new, young, handsome company transfer. But that must be her path in life since he's handsome and men always sleep with their secretary.

    But to be clear, this is not a romantic comedy. It's a light-hearted dark, crime comedy. It seems fantasy-like, or even cartoon-like in its use of colour, narration and score choice. It tries to be edgy, like film noir, but is way too silly for that mix to work well. But it is fun, and that is most likely its ultimate aim.

    When she accidentally murders her handsome boss, it turns out she wants to aim high in the corporate world – she wants the corner office. As her guiding angel sends her more messages, it looks like more accidental murders might be in her future and life is looking pretty grand for Miss Sarah Jane.

    The best part of the film is Adam Goldberg, he introduces himself as her knight in shining armour, and while she is smitten with him, he happens to be a homicide detective. The instant conflict that we can see in their relationship is handled well.

    The performances throughout the film are great and the sense of fun is always there. They are definitely going for something fairly unique and for the most part they succeed in that. There was a bit too much narration; better films would be able to show me what they need to and then let me figure out the rest, and things get wrapped up in a slightly unsatisfying way, but for "Miss Nobody" it's more about the journey and how we get there.

    Dark, twisted and very entertaining...

    When I sat down to watch "Miss Nobody" it was without any prior knowledge about what the movie was about, who starred in it and without any expectations of what the movie would be like. All I knew was that it was a dark comedy.

    It turned out that writer Doug Steinberg had come up with a rather funny script for this movie. And director Abram Cox brought the story to life on the screen in a very entertaining way.

    The storyline in "Miss Nobody", shortly summarized, is about a secretary who scales the corporate ladder at record speed but leaves a trail of dead bodies in her wake.

    "Miss Nobody" works out quite well because it is a wonderful combination of dark, twisted comedy and likable characters. And the fact that the cast ensemble were good and did great jobs with their roles and characters was just a plus, of course.

    And while we are on the topic of the cast, then I will say that Leslie Bibb was doing a phenomenal job of carrying the movie with her performance. And there were some great supportive appearances from talents such as Adam Goldberg, Kathy Baker, Missi Pyle, Brandon Routh, Vivica A. Fox and Barry Bostwick whom all really added a lot to the movie, despite most of them having very small roles actually.

    The situations portrayed in "Miss Nobody" definitely had a great part to say about the outcome of the movie. And here writer Doug Steinberg proved to be very talented, because he had come up with some very hilarious situations for the characters. There are some good laughs to be had throughout the course of this movie.

    If you enjoy a dark comedy, then "Miss Nobody" is definitely a movie that you should take the time to sit down and watch. It turned out to be quite a surprise and a very entertaining movie in my opinion.

    a maliscious dreamscenario to reach the top

    This was a dark comedy to say the least, not so hilarious, but some humble laughs it tickeled out of me.

    its a film about a woman stiving to reach the top in her company, and her secret aim is to become rich and to find the love of her life. via various ways of coincidence she reaches her goal, if its deserved, well watch and see....

    this is a film with extreme lots of locations and settings, and the editor and sound department has done a great job gluing together this piece of filmatic bravour. though its not perfect, it has a good float all the way through, and the main actress does a fine job. the narrative told by the main character can feel a bit cringy at times and there are some attempts to blow up some visual effects, but here the conclusion is a miss. the score though are of the vivid kind that makes you occupied and make you feel the mood f the motion through the sound of music.

    the grumpy old man gives a 6 which for me means over average, and better than mediocre, and works like pelifix in the kindergarten, it keeps you glued to the screen all the way to the end. its just a recommend and so is it.

    431rd Review: Beautifully made and one of the better comedies about the corporate ladder

    Leslie Bibb gives a wonderful performance in the lead combining a naive outlook with her own personal justification that carries the film. Everything works here, and all in all, this is a fun (and surprisingly non-violent) murderous trip into the corporate world that could well be a sleeper hit like Office Space was - it is a good little film, with loads of character actors that you'll recognize, a strong romance, and suspense, and is, all in all, a wry take on corporate life.

    As a massive plus, it is beautifully shot, the use of grading and filters is superb and adds much. Throughout the film the color grading and shots are really really nice and the overall sense that this was lovingly made shines through.

    Miss Nobody is one my favorite comedies about work since Office Space. Though much more like Amelie than an out and out satire, this tale of the secretary who almost innocently murders her way to the top of the corporate ladder is actually engaging and fun.

    Cute but dark comedy

    Leslie Bibb is so adorable, how could she possibly have done all the things we think she did? Surely they are all accidents. And yet eventually, even if she did do what she might have done (there is evidence she didn't in at least some of the cases), we want her to succeed, whatever it takes. She does really well with her narration, even breaking the fourth wall and narrating right there in front of everyone. And there's a really funny conversation with lots of brief replies that sort of reminds me of "Who's on First", but not nearly that funny. It's just so well done. I think she's talking with Det. Malloy.

    Missy Pyle is the standout actress here. We know she's not squeaky clean and yet we don't mind her being a bad girl. Not that she actually does anything, but she offers quite a contrast to the sweet innocent Sarah Jane.

    Kathy Baker also offers a contrast to her proper and obedient daughter. While she's not on much, we can see it's no wonder Sarah Jane turned out the way she did. If in fact Sarah Jane started actually causing these "accidents".

    I'm not that familiar with Brandon Routh but I have seen him in crossover events involving his character in a recent TV series. I plan to start watching that series, as I have numerous episodes recorded. Here, he seems like such a nice guy and even if I haven't seen him in the role, he makes me think not only of Superman but also Christopher Reeve. Of course, he's not that nice and this is why he isn't around long.

    Vivica Fox also has a brief role and does it really well, So nice, and yet so mean in the same scene.

    Adam Goldberg seems to lack confidence, which is unusual for him. This may be beneficial as he is investigating what could be murders. And while he doesn't seem all that smart, he does keep noticing certain details.

    There is plenty of physical humor with Mr. Ketchum, a senile old man who is the boarder at the house where Sarah Jane lives with her mother.

    And there is even more physical comedy involving a dead body that has to be moved. You won't believe where! And so many obstacles getting that body there.

    You really have to get over the idea of characters being morally upright here. Just enjoy watching all the bad guys (and girls) die one at a time. Don't even worry about whether any of these incidents are accidents or who is actually causing them if they aren't.

    Is this family friendly? I suppose a movie like this could be. But aside from the bad words that I apparently didn't hear, Sarah Jane's mom wants her to dress sexy for work. A really short dress, which the mom calls an "automatic erection". That gives you some idea.

    At one point things get really dark, and I don't mean dark in a funny way. But the ending may satisfy. Some people will want that ending, anyway.

    I had a good time, mostly.

      [first lines]

      Sarah Jane McKinney: [narrating] For a long time I'd walk into work convinced they all knew, they saw right through me. Me and my innocent act. Which never used to be an act, it's who I really was. I'd never do anything bad. Ever! I always imagined myself having a simple life. Find a nice guy, settle down, live happily ever after. Who would have thought looking for love would be so tricky? But like mom always said, Sarah Jane, ambition will put you in an early grave.
