Review of The Vicious Kind (2009) by Pete L — 22 Jan 2011
A good but kind of forgettable black comedy.
Plot: A bitter man agrees to drive his brother and his brother's girlfriend new girlfriend home for Thanksgiving and becomes attracted to her which may further tear their family apart or may be the key to confronting his repressed feelings.
This is a good movie, don't me wrong. But the problem I had with it was by the end I didnt remember anything really standing out besides some hilarious/witty dialogue and some great chemistry between the characters. Adam Scott, Brittany Snow, J.K. Simmons, and Alex Frost's performances are good but they aren't great. Maybe it's just me but I thought Brittany Snow was the wrong choice for her character. I also felt that the end didn't close the book on the story. After seeing this, it is clear that young Writer/Director Lee Toland Krieger has a lot of talent and I'm very anxious to see what he does in the future.
