Review: by Lee
I didn't know much about Girl Most Likely other than the fact that Kristen Wigg and Matt Dillon were starring in it, which could go either way; so I wasn't expecting much from it at all.
What I Liked:
It was funny. I cannot deny that I laughed, sometimes really hard. Matt Dillon’s character is so shady and off-the-wall. Come to think of it, most of the characters were off-the-wall. I liked their quirkiness.
It was unique. I had not seen another movie just like it. Granted, some of the scenes and themes were a bit cliche, but there’s nothing new under the sun. There was nothing in the movie that seemed stolen.
It was delightfully awkward. The humor was off-colored and interesting. Imogene’s brother Ralph was particularly enjoyable.
What I Didn’t Like:
It wasn’t largely memorable. This review is coming a month or so after having seen it, and I cannot say much for it.
Summary
It was amusing, but not necessarily worth seeing in theaters.
