Girl Most Likely (12A) 103 mins **
Gulp: Kristen Wiig’s post-Bridesmaids honeymoon may be over. This
wobbly romdram/noncom strays into Anistonland, packing the star’s struggling writer
off to her dysfunctional family’s New Jersey home, where the rustle of
producers’ notes and test-screening cards gradually drowns out anything
amusing; pity no-one scribbled down “ditch the mirthless panto with crab
costumes”, or “find a less glaringly makeshift ending”. Odd zingers and
residual eccentricities (a Whit Stillman cameo, anyone?) stand as traces of the
blast it might have been, but this cast surely signed on in anticipation of
many more laughs than there are in the final cut.
Girl Most Likely is in cinemas nationwide.
