F Marry Kill

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.

F, Marry, Kill is a rom-com murder mystery that's not to be taken too seriously.

The dating apps, dates and updating friends when meeting random is relateable and happens in the real world.

The reasoning for their actions and motivations make sense and I found the humour and conversations, felt like watching a bunch of friends and I laughed out loud several times.

Lucy Hale is fabulous on screen and I always enjoy her comedic banter.

If you can watch a casual film about a bunch of friends on shenanigans and be open to a 30-year-old woman changing her life, this is a decent watch.

F, Marry, Kill is Fun.

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.

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.

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.
