Miss Nobody (2010)

best movie i've ever seen.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

"Miss Nobody" is a funny but very dark comedy. I am pretty sure it's a bit too dark for all tastes, but I liked the film's sick and twisted sense of humor. Additionally, the film seems to be strongly inspired by the wonderful musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying"...if it was written by a serial killer!The film begins with cute Sarah (Leslie Bibb) applying for an executive job at her company. Sure, she fudged a lot of her resume, but you're pulling for the young lady because she's just so nice and spunky. However, her new job is very short-lived, as at the last second the job is given to another--and now he is Sarah's new boss. To make matters worse, he's a real jerk. When he tries to sexually assault poor Sarah, he falls and is accidentally impaled. Sarahs is not only saved but now she is given the job she had been offered.Soon, Sarah is making a very good impression as an exec. However, inexplicably, one of her tough-as-nails coworkers announces that she KNOWS Sarah murdered her boss. Well, once again, this bad person dies accidentally. Normal folks would assume this is all random chance. However, Sarah's convinced herself that this is all the work of her guardian angel...and that it would be okay if she sometimes helped him when people really deserved it. So, soon she's out helping the angel...and killing her way to the top of the company! Can she manage to avoid detection and live happily ever after?As I mentioned above, I thought the film was very funny but with all the killing and mayhem, it might put off some sensitive viewers. Additionally, the film has a few unnecessary scenes that make it a rated R film--which is inexplicable. It easily could have been PG-13 and why they had to have one or two brief scenes with nudity and language, I have no idea. Well worth seeing and rather sick.

A very good looking movie that has a fluffy charm, considering its subject matter, that keeps it from becoming a real "black" comedy. It is more like a throwback to an earlier time of whimsical romps with a touch of more cynical modern sensibilities.The casting is dead-on and the Miss Nobody is cute as punch and the actress does a great job in this entertaining and fun story. There is a nice twist and the only weakness is the ending that could be much more in tune with the style that preceded. The film is a successful attempt and it is not very witty or deep, but can be enjoyed as a better than average entry into the now in vogue Premium Cable quirkiness that is always fun in its inoffensive and a bit edgy satire.

frankly i am unfamiliar with the actors in this richly produced 'murder to laugh at' comedy. the laughs are deliciously off color and the (for me) unexpected twist in the plot had me wanting to watch the whole movie again right away!a full cast of wacky and maybe a bit sick characters walk through this story and will keep you wondering 'who's next?' and what will our lead character do with them.this movie is sweetly bitter and in that is the charm to a good one and one half hours of fun entertainment. this might not be the type of comedy some people find funny but then, they don't know what they are missing!ps - the mother is my favorite character!

I read the four reviews preceding mine and then decided to watch the movie. I suggest you read the same reviews, not just mine, and hope you come to the same conclusion, viewing the movie.I can't understand the low ratings, or perhaps the very average one. Regardless, I was entertained and certainly would not ask for my money back. The style, or composite of styles adopted here by director Tim Cox was successful; he orchestrated the production in the best possible way to maximize the script's originality. In the opening credits , stylish animation with perfectly scored music, I saw immediately , as one can with the opening credits of the original "The Pink Panther" movie, that we were going to view a comedy certainly and one that would likely be quirky. Yes, I got all that from the opening credits. Already a sign of a pretty good production. Then the opening scene blends time-lines; one where the main character Sarah Jane McKinney played by Leslie Bibb reflects on her disappointing current life and recalls an earlier and equally disappointing preteen life (Mia Pollini plays young Sarah Jane). In that opening scene young Sarah Jane prays to Saint-George for help, then present day Sarah Jane is inspired once again to call on her favourite saint for help. The narrated events which has Sarah Jane having a pseudo-dialogue with the saint is the trademark of the film, and the whole movie is punctuated by such moments; indeed she calls on Saint-George for help and guidance, and off course he responds with signs Sarah Jane interprets as the answer she needs at the time. Every accidental murder, that's what they must be called, are intertwined by divine intervention, sort of speak.Now if you have read the full IMDb storyline, and I recommend you do, and factor in my spoiling comments above, you should have a better idea of the nature of the movie. Like my fellow reviewers, I agree the script/movie works, it just does; thanks to good performances by the cast, who, with the direction of Tim Cox, pull off a lovely dark comedy that's not as dark to watch as it will appear to be on paper. You will like Leslie Bibb, in her first lead role.
