I've really gotta stop watching so much shit on Netflix...

I dont really know what to say about the film other than that it seemed to leave to many things unsaid.

Sure most films leave unanswered questions, but it was too much here in the case that when it ended I thought I was only halfway through the movie.

I love netflix because I've been able to see films that I would of never seen before. The downside to this is all the bad movies that I have watched and would of never watched before. This is one of those movies. It's only an hour and twenty minutes and it still goes on too long. It's the kind of movie that is filled with characters who speak with such clever and witty dialogue but the problem is that it all sounds so false, like they are just reading a cleverly written screenplay.

Gugino stands out in a well-cast series of chatty vignettes. Cool idea, half-realized.

Considering the array of talent on show this is a dreadful and dull so-called comedy. Whilst the dialogue at times is impressive there are no engaging characters and the intertwining stories are throwaway.

It's a good job this is an internet and US-only movie.

Dodge: All words have double meanings, even the littlest of ones. That's why you can't trust words, Henry.

B+

I figured with a cast like this one the movie has to be good. It was alright, I just felt like it ended to soon and they could of done so much more with it. They seem to just make a simple solution to wrap up the story, like the dentist who wanted his wife killed, he confessed to her and she forgave him...really?

Vahvoja dialogeja ilman syvempää tarkoitusta. Carla Gugino on milf.

(NET) A series of scenes in bars. Some work dramatically, some just lay there. Many contain really ugly caricatures of people. Most have something to do with how poorly women are treated by misogynistic predators.

There are a few gems in there. Zachary Quinto is suitably nervous and amusing as a dentist who wants his wife killed, but then has to assist in a robbery. Carla Gugino is sexy and commanding as a former cop who ties together most of the segments. And Robert Forster has a nice moment as an old-timer waiting on a delivery.

But overall, there just isn't much consistency, and the energy level is so laid back as to be almost catatonic. Director Sebastian Gutierrez makes a lot of these things (WOMEN IN TROUBLE, ELEKTRA LUXX, HOTEL NOIR), often using the same actors. But I can't say I've ever seen one that was a rousing success.

Review from my VOD column "This Week on Demand".

An interesting example of changing distribution trends, Girl Walks Into a Bar’s PR people excessively pushed the film as the “First Major Motion Picture Created Specifically for Web Distribution”; presented by Lexus, the film premiered exclusively on YouTube in 2011, viewable in full or in ten shorter sequences more befitting of online viewing habits. This distribution-tailored production is the film’s greatest drawback, its necessarily episodic manner doing the narrative a disservice as writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez hops from bar to bar across one night in LA, enacting a story of planned assassination and double-crossings. A strong cast featuring Zachary Quinto, Danny DeVito, and Roasario Dawson beings Gutierrez’s snappy dialogue to life, his genuinely funny exchanges—though peaking in the opening scene—making the movie a consistently witty experience throughout. The comedy doesn’t always work, but enough of it does to make Girl Walks Into a Bar an appreciable treat.
