The script and acting were there, but it fell flat

Rating: 4/10 (4 December 2017)

I was very entertained during the first half hour of the film, but the jokes got old fast. The attempts at humor began to feel very forced the longer the movie dragged on. I.e. Peter Dinklage's "I need to go to the LITTLE boys room." I thought that all of the pieces were there for this to be a great film, but it fell flat with all of the forced humor. Don't get me wrong, I love dark humor; but the director needed to decide if the movie was going to be a slapstick comedy or a drama, not both. SPOILER AHEAD: Lastly, I felt that the ending was very weak. The entire focus of Mildred's character revolved around her emotions with solving her daughter's rape & murder, but they decide to leave the audience guessing as to whether she sets all that aside and turns into a vigilante. It did not come across as real to me.
