Girl Most Likely Storyline

Imogene Duncan once had so much promise as a budding playwright, years ago she having been awarded a prestigious grant to write a play. That opportunity failed to materialize a play let alone one that was to be produced as per the stipulations of the grant, but it at least got her away from her Ocean City, New Jersey, life, which she hated, to New York City. Also through that opportunity, she met her boyfriend, Peter Van Woodsen, and who ended up being her social circle, whose vacuous existence revolves around the outward appearance of perfection. Imogene’s already fragile existence starts to fall apart in its entirety when Peter breaks up with her, about which she goes into denial, she loses their upscale apartment in the process, and she gets fired from her low end writing job for an arts magazine. Imogene’s subsequent action in dealing with these issues leads to her, out of circumstance, having to live with her widowed, eccentric mother, Zelda Duncan, back in Ocean City, her mother with who she has purposefully not kept in touch to put that part of her life behind her and who she blames for her miserable growing up period. In the process of moving home with virtually nothing on her back, Imogene meets or gets reacquainted with the odd assortment of others in the house: her brother, Ralph Duncan, who has never grown up, his only interest in life being hermit crabs around which he’s centered his business on the Ocean City boardwalk, past where he never ventures; George Bousche – “The Bousche” – Zelda’s delusional boyfriend, a slacker who states he’s undercover CIA, and is a time-traveling samurai; and Lee, Zelda’s young boarder, a college graduate who works as a singer in a cheesy impersonation musical revue. As Imogene tries to get her New York life back in its entirety including getting back together with Peter, she discovers something that is only the latest issue to place a wedge between her and her mother: that her father, Maxwell Duncan, did not pass away as Zelda had said, but is alive, Imogene learning he an author living somewhere in New York City. If she can find and be reunited with her father, Imogene believes her life would be so much better than it has been with her mother.

Girl Most Likely Movie Reviews

Not the laugh a minute riot, just a good old-fashioned homecoming.

Yeah wow, been there. This poor girl, if only she had family in the CIA, or an incredible safety suit. This is a good movie, don’t come expecting a laugh a minute, or to be rolling around the floor, this is more of a girl interrupted 20 years too late kind of deal. Matt Dillon again, and not Kevin, so you can again add a point in the plus column. Really a great cast from New York, all the way back home to Jersey. If you like Kristen Wiig, then you will love this for a lot of reasons, she plays her character that she has pretty much perfected, like a Newhart for the broken hearts. I would swear to you that Annette Bening has met my Mother at some time, and was channeling her from the 80’s. Enjoy.

Wiig is excellent in humorous drama mislabelled as a comedy

Imogene is having a bad day: out of place among the New York social climbers she hangs out with, dumped by her boy friend and losing her job, a phony suicide attempt sees her released into the “care” of her quirky and flawed mother, and reduced to sleeping on the floor at Mom’s house in Jersey. Finding herself on a quest with her very strange brother to search out the father she had always been told was dead, she may actually be on the road to reclaiming her life.

Billed as a comedy, but actually a small-scale domestic drama leavened with humour, this odd little indie stars Kristen Wiig as the (initially) hapless Imogene. Ms Wiig impresses me more with every movie I see her in – her attractive but worn everywoman persona hides an impressive talent. Annette Bening is also good as the Mom who isn’t as bad as reports would have you believe. There seems to be a school of opinion which likes Christopher Fitzgerald as quirky Ralph: I found the character to unbelievable to warm to, and Fitgerald in the role struck me as Zack Galifianikis-lite.

The film overall is wildly implausible in almost every respect: it is a tribute to Wiig that she (almost) has you believing it, and certainly has you rooting for her character despite the loser-ish qualities she displays at the start.

I quite enjoyed this – it has a feelgood element to it which pleased me.

This dysfunctional stupidity not that funny

Imogene (Kristen Wiig) is a failing writer with a dysfunctional family. She can’t write anything good. She loses her job. And her boyfriend dumps her. What else can she do but to fake a suicide and call her boyfriend to rescue her? The problem is he never comes, and she gets put into the psych ward for the suicide attempt. Her irresponsible mother (Annette Bening) is put in charge of her for 72 hours. She is plunged back into her dysfunctional family and a secret is revealed.

Imogene is not a fun character, and does way too many stupid things. It’s kind of funny sometimes like trying to run away in the hospital. But other times, it’s just stupid like stealing the library book. There is a couple of funny moments, but Imogene is too self destructive. It is a limited comedy with limited laughs. I love Kristen Wiig, but this is not a funny comedy. There are a lot of crazy characters in wacky situations, but it never gets hilarious.
