What a fun little movie. There are basically only four characters but it never feels like a small film. Daryl Zero is a great character who is a lot of fun to watch. Unfortunately very few have ever heard of this little gem.

I had read so many good things about this film, so I had very high expectations... been a while since I watched it now, but I remember being really disappointed. Needs a rewatch I guess.

Surprisingly clever

This film is a nice gem that people should talk about more. Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller work well together and Kim Dickens also gives a good performance. Pullman is really hilarious and the plot is great.

4+ worth experiencing

The acting is good, the script is good, but unfortunately this movie suffers from the inexperience of the director. Jake Kasdan tries to make every scene poignant and shows a lot of potential in this regard. However this is also the main downside of the film. Instead of capitalizing on key scenes, his efforts to make each scene perfect throws the pace of the move off completely. In reality this movie should have been 10-20 minutes shorter. Its as if the movie was forever stuck setting up the pre

A bastardized version of Sherlock Holmes that manages to perfectly adapt the character tropes and style into a modern setting with a fantastic tongue in cheek tone. Several surprisingly strong performances here as well. Quite the surprise.

"It's a shame low-budget American indies don't do franchises, because this unusual but traditional detective story introduced a private eye who deserves his own series."

A surprisingly good film with fleshed-out characters, a great script, and decent directing for a first film. One of my 'dark horse' faves.

Not bad.

tries too hard to be funny
