Having announced in its very first scene that it isn't hung up on being a traditional mystery, Handsome goes on to prove that it's not all that interested in being a coherent movie, either. Go to Full Review

Jeff Garlin's lethargic detective movie shows Netflix will buy any comedy zombie. Go to Full Review
Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 05/11/2017
B
A strange whodunit that adds to Garlin's cinematic interests in weird wit, once again turning to a talented cast to make magic in a relatively calm, but silly, manner. Go to Full Review
Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media 05/09/2017
1/5
Plodding, raunchy police comedy has few laughs, less charm. Go to Full Review

Brutus F Sep 2 Can't you see the Netflix production meeting behind this one? "Natsha Lyonne still owes us 4 more movies and she's not getting any younger. Whadda we got?" "Ummm, my kid brother and his buddies wrote a murder mystery script for their english class. They got a C on it." "Polish it up and send it to her agent." See more Helene S Mar 25 quirky, silly and a good time! definitely unique See more Will D 08/13/2024 Terrible movie with cringe dialogues and poor performances from most of the cast. The plot is very poorly written and makes no sense. Neither the mystery nor the comedy work. See more Jane C 02/24/2024 A quirky little cutie. See more Marc Z @TKDLife 06/28/2023 I would think you either really hate this movie, or enjoy it. I would imagine there is little in between. I love Jeff Garlin. He is a raunchy stand up comedian, and best known for playing Larry David's manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm. This role is a slight variation of that persona. Even the title is funny knowing Garlin is the star, and the Directory, writer etc. He plays a Detective on the hunt to uncover the murderer of his neighbor's babysitter. The characters are strong. The comedy is stupid, but that's the point. Not much of a mystery, at all. It is an enjoyable spoof. See more Edoardo C @HAROLDO 06/11/2023 I love Jeff Garlin very much, but this is something really, really awful. See more Read all reviews
