Review of Girl Walks Into a Bar (2011) by Jonathon G — 15 Dec 2013

Girl walks into a bar. Which surprises Nick(Zachary Quinto), a dentist, since when arranging to meet a contract killer, he was definitely not expecting someone like Francine Driver(Carla Gugino). After the misperceptions and some flashing are taken care of, they agree to a price which is more than Nick was expecting. After he goes off in search of more cash, Francine has her wallet stolen by Henry(Aaron Tveit). The only clue she has to his whereabouts is a tattoo on Terry(Emmanuelle Chriqui), a stripper.

"Girl Walks into a Bar" proves that if you're going to do a bar crawl, this is definitely the way to go, as the amount of alcohol consumed is not terribly lethal. No, what matters here are the variety of bars on a typically weird night in Los Angeles and the quality of the company, which in this case is on the plus side. To be honest, I'm not saying this exactly makes sense with the vignettes attempting to form a story but at least it is an amiable sort of nonsense.
