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.

Good cast. Direction is a subtle as a sledgehammer so fails to hit its mark.

It was watchable. Some smart chuckles. Not a masterpiece, but I wouldn't tell someone not to watch it.

Love all of it. The actor's play, the face expression de Lyonne, the sweet despair of Jeff. A beautiful little gem

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.

Rated: 2/4

Jeff Garlin's lethargic detective movie shows Netflix will buy any comedy zombie.

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.

Rated: B

Plodding, raunchy police comedy has few laughs, less charm.
