Very well executed
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
A Brilliant Conflict
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Well sort of. Some make fun of the fact that the star of the movie, also wrote and directed it. That doesn't make a movie good or bad. In this case, I would call it mediocre. There are quite a few faces you may recognize (I'm guessing friends?) and one particular female even plays herself in a very odd, let's call it cameo, towards the end of the movie.The "whodunnit" aspect is I guess nice, but it's not really an edge of your seat kind of thing. The whole movie is more shallow and tries to be as light as possible. I'd say it succeeds in that aspect overall. Although that also means you as a viewer are not as engaged as you may be with other movies of similar nature and content you have been watching. So if you have the spare time and like the genre, you can risk a look at this ...
This film, "Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie" has me laughing three days after I saw it. First of, Jeff Garlin is a genius when it comes to this types of productions. The film is relatable, casual, and somewhat reminds me of an old sitcom style of directing. Anyways, watch it on Netflix. Give it a try, you might like the style.
What has happened to film making? Do the people who make movies ever look at what they produce? They can't think that what they make is good. Maybe they think people will go for anything. Back to the drawing board for a good comedy. Jeff Garlin and I have something in common,we like the Cubs and we can't act.
Jeff's character was very lovable and relatable. This flick was an easy watch, with a fun mystery story line! It was a lower toned comedy and a good watch for a Friday night at home. I enjoyed the overall set design and coloring of the film. All the characters were true to their role and were all very believable with a subtle hint of comedy. I also love dogs so the Dane was a major plus!
