Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Executscan Expected more
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Paul Magne Haakonsen When I sat down to watch "Miss Nobody" it was without any prior knowledge about what the movie was about, who starred in it and without any expectations of what the movie would be like. All I knew was that it was a dark comedy.It turned out that writer Doug Steinberg had come up with a rather funny script for this movie. And director Abram Cox brought the story to life on the screen in a very entertaining way.The storyline in "Miss Nobody", shortly summarized, is about a secretary who scales the corporate ladder at record speed but leaves a trail of dead bodies in her wake."Miss Nobody" works out quite well because it is a wonderful combination of dark, twisted comedy and likable characters. And the fact that the cast ensemble were good and did great jobs with their roles and characters was just a plus, of course.And while we are on the topic of the cast, then I will say that Leslie Bibb was doing a phenomenal job of carrying the movie with her performance. And there were some great supportive appearances from talents such as Adam Goldberg, Kathy Baker, Missi Pyle, Brandon Routh, Vivica A. Fox and Barry Bostwick whom all really added a lot to the movie, despite most of them having very small roles actually.The situations portrayed in "Miss Nobody" definitely had a great part to say about the outcome of the movie. And here writer Doug Steinberg proved to be very talented, because he had come up with some very hilarious situations for the characters. There are some good laughs to be had throughout the course of this movie.If you enjoy a dark comedy, then "Miss Nobody" is definitely a movie that you should take the time to sit down and watch. It turned out to be quite a surprise and a very entertaining movie in my opinion.
Claudio Carvalho Sarah Jane McKinney (Leslie Bibb) is a secretary of the big Judge Pharmaceutical company and devote of St. George that she believes protects her since she was a child. Sarah Jane lives in the boarding house of her mother Claire McKinney (Kathy Baker) where the Mr. Ketchum (Geoffrey Lewis) that has Alzheimer is her only client. Sarah Jane also dreams on finding her knight in shinning armor. One day, Sarah Jane's best friend, the also secretary Charmaine (Missi Pyle) shows her that the company needs a junior executive and she will apply her curriculum vitae to the position. Sarah Jane decides to do the same and she is selected to the position. However, the political lady killer Milo Beeber (Brandon Routh) is transferred to the position and she is her secretary. When he makes a pass at her, Sarah Jane goes to his flat and accidentally kills Beeber. On the next day, she is promoted to the position of junior executive again. Sarah Jane has to kill other executives to protect her and she climbs in the company. When the new guest Det. Sgt. Bill Malloy (Adam Goldberg) comes to the boarding house, they fall in love with each other. But the problem is that Malloy is the homicide detective in charge of the investigation of the murder cases."Miss Nobody" is a comedy of black humor with a dark criticism to the environment and how to climb positions in a corporation. The idea of killing bosses is not original, but he screenplay is funny and Leslie Bibb using the same style of Audrey Tautou in "Amélie Poulain". In the end, the movie entertains but the conclusion is moralist. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) : "Uma Secretária de Morte" ("A Death Secretary")
zif ofoz 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!
TxMike Found this one on streaming Netflix.Leslie Bibb is Sarah Jane McKinney, rising young executive who gets her first promotion, only to find that someone transferred in to snatch it away from her. That person is Brandon Routh (Superman) as Milo Beeber. But he graciously lets Sarah Jane stay on as his secretary.As the tagline says, she innocently kills her boss, Beeber, but that leads to a large number of subsequent complications.I rather enjoyed watching it as a quirky dark comedy, nothing is taken too seriously. Bibb is pretty good in the lead role. However near the end, as things are wrapping up there is a lot of voice-over, explaining quite a number of things. This is always a sign that the story hasn't quite been put together well, and you can't leave viewers confused.Then the ending wasn't very imaginative.I enjoyed Adam Goldberg as detective Bill Malloy, who gets assigned to investigate the deaths, but also gets sweet on Sarah Jane. Always good in quirky parts, Kathy Baker is Sarah Jane's kookie mother Claire McKinney. Missi Pyle is co-worker Charmaine. Vivica A. Fox is Sarah Jane's boss, Nan Wilder.SPOILERS: In this particular business everyone seems to be untrustworthy. The "murders" begin when Beeber has Sarah Jane go to his house for work, but ends up chasing her up a library type ladder, she pushes him, he falls backwards and is impaled, dead, by an umbrella. As the story goes on she must cover her tracks, so keeps murdering other co-workers. When it finally seemed that all her tracks were covered, and she now had the big job and the corner office, she falls victim to her own booby trapped water bottle, inadvertently drinking a lethal mixture of medications, and dies also. Karma.
