F Marry Kill

I'm a big Lucy Hale fan... I think she's gorgeous and can act. That's why I gave this movie a shot. But honestly? It just fell short.

First off, I couldn't feel any real chemistry between the cast, it was awkward. You know those movies where you can almost see the sparks fly? Well, this wasn't one of them. The jokes didn't help either; they felt super forced and predictable, like someone wrote "something funny goes here" in the script.

I read other reviews and other people even said Lucy's humor "fell completely flat" and that she just doesn't click with her co-star here

Then there's the acting...it's kinda weird. People in this film say and do things like they're reading cue cards, not having real conversations. Normal folks don't talk or act like that. I wanted to give it a fair shot, I really did, but by the end I wished I'd bounced earlier.

Bottom line: Lucy Hale is great as always, but this movie? Not worth the time. No chemistry, cringe-y lines, and weird reactions... I regret sticking it out.

Okay, the premise sounds really bleh on paper though it's Lucy Hale, Virginia Gardner, and the rest of the cast making it all work to some extent. It's kinda like Scream with online dating at its forefront, but the horror/gore element is dumbed down so much, especially for an R-rated movie. For me, the film works when it's a nice little raunchy comedy with a central mystery; however, it falls flat as a horror film. Even when the writing throws in way too many red herrings, the final reveal somehow was refreshingly twisted. I think I enjoyed it more than expected, owing to its characters all being millennials for a change, as opposed to Gen Zs, which is generally the case (I'm looking at you Time Cut). It handles the "being single in your 30s" bit rather enjoyably, with reasonably funny banter.

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.

It was decent for a casual watch. I can see why it's labelled as a comedy, it often felt unintentionally funny, even during the serious scenes. Definitely gives off a low-budget vibe with a plot that feels like a vacation read-light, messy, and not to be taken seriously.

It's not a film that demands much from you, which makes it okay for time pass. The story doesn't go too deep and some parts are a bit too convenient, but nothing unbearable. Not something I'd revisit, but fine for what it is.

The lead actress is quite pretty, and that honestly helped keep things watchable. Its a light comedy.

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.
