There are small laughs to be found, largely coming from Ronan, but it just isn't enough. Silly - it needed to be more like say 'Murder by Death', but crucially the humour in the script is far too often just not there.
What really spoils here is that the film isn't silly or indeed funny enough to pull its intentions off. The down side is firstly, that the whodunnit element is pretty predictable and frankly rather meh, although in many respects this doesn't really matter. Everyone in this is great fun, particularly Brodie as the victim, forever returning in flashbacks and Rockwell, sort of Sam Spade-ish, but it is Roman who is genuinely a real comedy find and rather walks away with this.

It would be nice to say that this works, but sadly the negatives rather outweigh the plus points.
This is a great idea, taking the cliches from a classic staged whodunnit and applying them to the whodunnit investigation that Rockwell and Ronan are undertaking.

Seasoned Detective Inspector Sam Rockwell and new PC Saoirse Ronan are on the case. Awesome! Whilst I give it a 10 I don't mean every aspect is perfect! But that feeling when you leave and are still smiling! That's what this gives.Īt a party to celebrate the 100th performance of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, the director of the planned film version is murdered. If you're feeling a bit down or just fancy a lighthearted film which is an easy watch this is it. There was a surname joke that took me back to airplane! And an arrest straight from naked gun! I just loved it. It was tonally perfect and just innocent spoof kinda humour. It wasn't overbearing, it didn't take away from scenes. Thinking back it actually felt like she was given 90% of the comedy whilst others had small moments she was the one who delivered. So unbelievably likeable and endearing it was a great performance. However I feel the difference between a 7/8 or a 10 is all down to one person Saoirse Ronan (sorry if it's misspelled) she was so good, her face, she played daft so well, you didn't think of her as stupid, more naive and innocent, she had some lines in this film which genuinely broke some people in the audience. The acting was all good, chemistry was really good and fans of This is England get to see a reunion which was fun. The setting, cars, just everything was good. Two awesome films set in old town London over the last year after the exceptional Last night in Soho.
I saw one review on here saying it used split screen too much, I went in expecting it to be every minute, it's a few times for mere seconds and completely fits in with the film.

Although never explicitly pointed out in the film, Radioland Murders (1994) was a pseudo-prequel to an earlier Lucas feature - Roger and Penny are the future parents of Curt Henderson ( Richard Dreyfuss) from American Graffiti (1973).I absolutely loved this movie, I go to the cinema way too much and I'd not heard as much laughter for quite a while, yeah some of the humour is silly and maybe a bit predictable if you can see the set ups but I'd say this was some of the best comedic timing since naked gun and big LN (RIP) Whilst the story was genuinely good and after watching a recent Alan Carr documentary a lot of the details I was familiar with, like the movie clause etc, it was just a very easy going light hearted fun film. As the backstage hysteria reaches a fever pitch, the show goes on with real-life radio-era pros such as George Burns and Rosemary Clooney. Roger is forced to dodge a detective, Lieutenant Cross ( Michael Lerner), find the real killer, win Penny back, and perform last-minute script rewrites for an unhappy sponsor.
While Penny and her staff desperately try to keep WBN's roster of shows afloat during the unfolding crisis, her estranged husband Roger ( Brian Benben), a staff writer, becomes the chief suspect.

On the night that the Chicago station goes live on the air, a mysterious voice interrupts, and a series of murders soon follows, each one described by the same sonorous phantom. In 1939, Penny Henderson ( Mary Stuart Masterson) is the harried general secretary and de facto manager of a new fourth radio network, WBN. A blend of screwball farce and whodunit murder mystery, this madcap period piece was the brainchild of executive producer George Lucas.
