When a beautiful and mysterious woman bursts into the office of Leo Falloon, desperate to find her missing brother, it's just another day in the life of a hard-boiled detective. The problem is, Leo's not a detective. He sells novelty advertising across the hall from the detective, but how hard can it be?

Reviews
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
SnoopyStyle Beautiful damsel Kyra (Amy Smart) comes in and hires Leo Falloon (Brent Butt) to find her missing video game designer brother Milles Severeign. The problem is that he's not actually a private detective. He's really a specialty products salesman. Ernie (David Koechner) is his friend. He's taken with the beauty and accepts the case. He finds a dead body. Kyra seduces him to continue investigating. Reese Horn (Kirsten Prout) claims to be Milles' girlfriend.The directing is strictly unimpressive TV production level style. The humor is dead panned from Brent Butt. He's not a big performer and that holds this back. In his show, he's more or less a regular nobody. He's perfectly likable but he's not cinematic enough. It's a low grade movie with some light humor.
deborahbliss I like all |Canadian movies. I enjoy anything with Brett Butt starring in all things Canadian. So this movie was a perfect combination of Canadian movie with Brett Butt starring in a Canadian movie. The acting of all the actors was really good. I think we have a superior talent pool in Canada. I also think that Brett Butt is very comedic. Seven more lines of text to go. If I were more acquainted with the private detective genre of the 50's, I am sure there are references to movies of this time era. The gumshoe, is the correct word I think. So he played the part perfectly. So did his friend, David Koechner. Of course the diner scene always makes me think of Corner Gas. Enjoyable light hearted fluffy entertainment. Why not?
castor_b Alright, listen up. Or read up, since you're reading. And since you can read, that should mean your ability to process words is working. That's actually a good start. This is a very funny movie- and no, Brent Butt is not going to win any acting awards, but his delivery as an unsophisticated but clever novelty salesperson mistaken for a Dick is perfect. Amy Smart as the damsel with more to her story is the perfect straight-man to Leo's bumbling, and I liked Kechner as his friend a funny soundboard. And for fans of Corner Gas, Brent's other half is funny and very Wanda-esque. And for those who aren't Corner Gas fans, don't watch. Your sense of humor isn't properly suited for this film.
Phantom_Duck I gave this film an 8 for no other reason than I smiled the entire way through, it was certainly not brilliant like an 8 should be but it was light hearted farce that I enjoyed more than most films I have seen recently.The plot starts as basic film noir,femme fatale arrives at private dick's office in crisis, only problem is it is the office next door and the guy is a nerdy novelty sales man Very well written and never taking itself seriously, poking fun at the genre with horrible self narrations and bizarre interactions it reminded of movies like Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, The Man Who Knew Too Little and The Man With One Red Shoe.Best yet were no car chases in a modern detective film! People that gave this flick poor marks simply have no sense of humor! I'll watch it again!
