Review of Wild Canaries (2014) by Lee M — 25 May 2015

Clearly Levine and Takal have put a great deal of energy into this attempt at old school screwball comedy, but the budget is just too low and the aesthetic these artists have helped to create is a misfit to this sort of movie.

Lawrence Michael Levine either fails or is unable to connect his style and his cast to the genre. In a an interesting way the concept of "screwball" comedy is actually beneath their talents.

This type of thing has been done so many times --- it requires a great deal of charisma and amped up witty rapport from another era.
