Verdict: Yikes. I love a good murder mystery movie, but this one's definitely not one of them.

"Most Likely to Murder" follows Billy as he investigates his neighbor and former high school classmate Lowell, who he believes murdered his own mother.

There is not one aspect I enjoyed about the movie. It tries to take a comedic approach, but most jokes fall flat on their stomachs and either go on for far too long, or are lazily written and predictable. The main character is extremely unlikable and as a result, made me cringe every time he was on screen. The way the actors delivered their lines was also amateurish and made me suspect that the director just went with the first take he filmed. The film also looks and sounds ugly, mainly due to a generic score probably purchased online, as well as shaky camera work.

If I had to sum up "Most Likely to Murder" in a word, it would be awkward. The mystery is boring, the characters uninteresting, and the comedy unfunny. Definitely skip this one.  

Final Grade: 2/10
