Sadly Over-hyped
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The cinematic equivalent of being forced to breastfeed a teething dolphin, "Girl Most Likely" stars actress Kristen Wiig as Imogene, a middle aged playwright who stages a suicide in an attempt to win back her ex. This bizarre gesture eventually leads Imogene on a quest to find her long-lost father."Girl Most Likely" was written by Michelle Morgan, whose script wastes time on a wholly superfluous first act. It was directed by Shari Springer and Robert Pulcini, who manage nothing of note. Rubbing salt into the wounds of wounded viewers is a small cameo by Whit Stillman, a director renowned for several sophisticated, interesting comedies. What's he doing in a film like this? Actor Matt Dillon steals the show as a bizarre, bathrobe wearing samurai.3/10 - Worth no viewings. See Whit Stillman's "The Last Days of Disco".
Upon its festival release, Girl Most Likely garnered generally negative reviews from critics. Christopher Schobert from film blog The Playlist called the film "a big-screen sitcom, elevated by Kristen Wiig and Annette Bening". He wrote that Wiig's "likability oozes from every scene in Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's occasionally winning, a touch too sitcom-y, but often very funny look at one woman's offbeat family and her attempts at discovering just what went wrong on the road to success. It is not, to be sure, Bridesmaids-style humor, and never reaches that blockbuster's belly laugh count. But the film doesn't lack for moments of inspired comedy, and I expect it to find an audience." In his review, Justin Chang from Variety felt that "an able cast, led by Kristen Wiig's prickly lead turn, saves this uneven, excessively quirky but ultimately ingratiating story Offering another sly snapshot of the filmmakers' native New York, a la The Nanny Diaries and The Extra Man this soft-bellied crowdpleaser should post modest numbers in specialty play and DVD/VOD rotation. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 20% rating based on 85 reviews with the site's consensus: "Largely witless and disappointingly dull, Girl Most Likely strands the gifted Kristen Wiig in a blandly hollow foray into scattershot sitcom territory."
I just saw this on FX tonight and was surprised at how good this film is. I think there is a lot more to the film than the other reviews suggest. It is a quirky little film with a great cast and a wonderful script.Without wanting to give too much away, the entire film is an interesting take on the wizard of oz. The performances were brilliant all round, including the really small bit parts. Matt Dillon and Annette Benning steal the show at times but Kristen Wiig gives a really credible performance as Imogene. The direction is great, editing seamless. There are a few predictable moments in the film but overall it is still a good watch. It really is a good film for a Friday or Saturday night in.
Gave the movie a go thinking it would be just something to do before going to bed - well, it was an amazing movie!! Couldn't sleep till the end, and actually in the very end, when you know it is about to finish, I really wanted to see more. More story, more of that crazy quirky life, a really cool, interesting, smart, funny and somewhat deep movie.The story is really interesting and the cast, well they all play excellent roles where they fit perfectly!It makes you laugh and even cry, makes you think about life and on the stuff you go through on daily basis. A really feel-good movie. A really well done flick, not a crap-Hollywood-fill-in-sandwichExcellent!
