frankly i am unfamiliar with the actors in this richly produced 'murder to laugh at' comedy. the laughs are deliciously off color and the (for me) unexpected twist in the plot had me wanting to watch the whole movie again right away!a full cast of wacky and maybe a bit sick characters walk through this story and will keep you wondering 'who's next?' and what will our lead character do with them.this movie is sweetly bitter and in that is the charm to a good one and one half hours of fun entertainment. this might not be the type of comedy some people find funny but then, they don't know what they are missing!ps - the mother is my favorite character!

I read the four reviews preceding mine and then decided to watch the movie. I suggest you read the same reviews, not just mine, and hope you come to the same conclusion, viewing the movie.I can't understand the low ratings, or perhaps the very average one. Regardless, I was entertained and certainly would not ask for my money back. The style, or composite of styles adopted here by director Tim Cox was successful; he orchestrated the production in the best possible way to maximize the script's originality. In the opening credits , stylish animation with perfectly scored music, I saw immediately , as one can with the opening credits of the original "The Pink Panther" movie, that we were going to view a comedy certainly and one that would likely be quirky. Yes, I got all that from the opening credits. Already a sign of a pretty good production. Then the opening scene blends time-lines; one where the main character Sarah Jane McKinney played by Leslie Bibb reflects on her disappointing current life and recalls an earlier and equally disappointing preteen life (Mia Pollini plays young Sarah Jane). In that opening scene young Sarah Jane prays to Saint-George for help, then present day Sarah Jane is inspired once again to call on her favourite saint for help. The narrated events which has Sarah Jane having a pseudo-dialogue with the saint is the trademark of the film, and the whole movie is punctuated by such moments; indeed she calls on Saint-George for help and guidance, and off course he responds with signs Sarah Jane interprets as the answer she needs at the time. Every accidental murder, that's what they must be called, are intertwined by divine intervention, sort of speak.Now if you have read the full IMDb storyline, and I recommend you do, and factor in my spoiling comments above, you should have a better idea of the nature of the movie. Like my fellow reviewers, I agree the script/movie works, it just does; thanks to good performances by the cast, who, with the direction of Tim Cox, pull off a lovely dark comedy that's not as dark to watch as it will appear to be on paper. You will like Leslie Bibb, in her first lead role.

Leslie Bibb gives a wonderful performance in the lead combining a naive outlook with her own personal justification that carries the film. Everything works here, and all in all, this is a fun (and surprisingly non-violent) murderous trip into the corporate world that could well be a sleeper hit like Office Space was - it is a good little film, with loads of character actors that you'll recognize, a strong romance, and suspense, and is, all in all, a wry take on corporate life.As a massive plus, it is beautifully shot, the use of grading and filters is superb and adds much. Throughout the film the color grading and shots are really really nice and the overall sense that this was lovingly made shines through.Miss Nobody is one my favorite comedies about work since Office Space. Though much more like Amelie than an out and out satire, this tale of the secretary who almost innocently murders her way to the top of the corporate ladder is actually engaging and fun.

This film reminded me immediately of one of my favorite films - Amélie. It is delivered in the same quirky, cartoon-like style but without the mesmerizing charm and flowing story line. The acting by Leslie Bibb was fantastic and she did a wonderful job with what she was given. Everyone in the cast was outstanding and acted their hearts out. I can easily see why they all won awards for their performances in Boston. The main problem I found with this movie was that after the first half hour it was so repetitive and predictable, I found myself looking at my watch every 5 minutes. That being said, I appreciated the director's (Tim Cox) dedication to the style of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie), as I imagine that these kind of films are much more difficult to direct and produce than a straight forward, dark comedy. I was relieved when it all came to an end.
