I Wonder Who's Killing Her Now is theoretically a comedy. It would help if it were funny. I guess that's not fair, I did chuckle a few times, but I've seen horror movies with better comic relief than this supposed comedy genre film.
It revolves around Jordan, a man who has gotten himself into some serious money troubles. The source of his cashflow, his wife, wants a divorce. Yep, he's screwed. So he sets in motion a plan to take out an insurance policy and have her killed. After he's already hired the killer he finds out the policy didn't go through. If she dies now he gets nothing! But when he tries to stop the killer he learns that the job has been subcontracted out to another killer then another then another. If Jordan is to save his wife he's going to have to make it to the last person in this long string of hired killers.
It tries to be funny with ridiculous situations and over the top actions. Each killer hired is stranger than the previous person with the true assassin wearing hideously mismatched shoes. It's a mildly amusing plot it just needs more actual humor to be effective.
The acting is actually not all that bad. The movie makers could have tried for a more serious plot mixed with the comedy and might have been able to pull it off (with a decent enough script that is). Instead we get something that is more often stupid silly than funny.
The opening animation sequence is kind of cute. It seems to take a cue from the likes of Pink Panther and utilizes the mismatched shoes that show up frequently in the movie itself. So it's not an atrocious movie, but it's not one I would recommend.
MORALITY:
It's a pretty tame movie. I didn't notice any strong language at all. There's no sex or nudity. The violence is mostly implied, and and it's comical when it's on screen.
SPIRITUALITY:
Hiring someone to kill your wife can only lead to bad things.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I couldn't get into this one either as a story or as a comedy. It has a few bright moments but is mostly unimpressive.
