Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
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.
LeonLouisRicci A very good looking movie that has a fluffy charm, considering its subject matter, that keeps it from becoming a real "black" comedy. It is more like a throwback to an earlier time of whimsical romps with a touch of more cynical modern sensibilities.The casting is dead-on and the Miss Nobody is cute as punch and the actress does a great job in this entertaining and fun story. There is a nice twist and the only weakness is the ending that could be much more in tune with the style that preceded. The film is a successful attempt and it is not very witty or deep, but can be enjoyed as a better than average entry into the now in vogue Premium Cable quirkiness that is always fun in its inoffensive and a bit edgy satire.
John Raymond Peterson I read the four reviews preceding mine and then decided to watch the movie. I suggest you read the same reviews, not just mine, and hope you come to the same conclusion, viewing the movie.I can't understand the low ratings, or perhaps the very average one. Regardless, I was entertained and certainly would not ask for my money back. The style, or composite of styles adopted here by director Tim Cox was successful; he orchestrated the production in the best possible way to maximize the script's originality. In the opening credits , stylish animation with perfectly scored music, I saw immediately , as one can with the opening credits of the original "The Pink Panther" movie, that we were going to view a comedy certainly and one that would likely be quirky. Yes, I got all that from the opening credits. Already a sign of a pretty good production. Then the opening scene blends time-lines; one where the main character Sarah Jane McKinney played by Leslie Bibb reflects on her disappointing current life and recalls an earlier and equally disappointing preteen life (Mia Pollini plays young Sarah Jane). In that opening scene young Sarah Jane prays to Saint-George for help, then present day Sarah Jane is inspired once again to call on her favourite saint for help. The narrated events which has Sarah Jane having a pseudo-dialogue with the saint is the trademark of the film, and the whole movie is punctuated by such moments; indeed she calls on Saint-George for help and guidance, and off course he responds with signs Sarah Jane interprets as the answer she needs at the time. Every accidental murder, that's what they must be called, are intertwined by divine intervention, sort of speak.Now if you have read the full IMDb storyline, and I recommend you do, and factor in my spoiling comments above, you should have a better idea of the nature of the movie. Like my fellow reviewers, I agree the script/movie works, it just does; thanks to good performances by the cast, who, with the direction of Tim Cox, pull off a lovely dark comedy that's not as dark to watch as it will appear to be on paper. You will like Leslie Bibb, in her first lead role.
intelearts Leslie Bibb gives a wonderful performance in the lead combining a naive outlook with her own personal justification that carries the film. Everything works here, and all in all, this is a fun (and surprisingly non-violent) murderous trip into the corporate world that could well be a sleeper hit like Office Space was - it is a good little film, with loads of character actors that you'll recognize, a strong romance, and suspense, and is, all in all, a wry take on corporate life.As a massive plus, it is beautifully shot, the use of grading and filters is superb and adds much. Throughout the film the color grading and shots are really really nice and the overall sense that this was lovingly made shines through.Miss Nobody is one my favorite comedies about work since Office Space. Though much more like Amelie than an out and out satire, this tale of the secretary who almost innocently murders her way to the top of the corporate ladder is actually engaging and fun.
