Good all the way till the climax
All the way up till the last 5 minutes I liked this film quite a bit. There's not much to find wrong with it. The performances are pretty good especially from Clark Gregg which not only is the star of the film but also writes and directs. Gregg plays a struggling agent that finds possible career success in a talented young actress. He races against time to sign her to a big 3 picture deal while dealing with her alcoholic father & another shady agent who unlike Gregg's character is a shark with no morals. The story has just the right amount of comedy & Drama & is also touching at times. So why then did I rate this a 6 & not a 7 or higher? The ending. It tries to be Film Noir but just doesn't make any sense which is a shame because it has a lot going for it but if the ending doesn't work the whole film hurts because of it.
Don't expect a comedy, but expect to like it. Trust Me.
I can't tell if the trailer is false advertisement to reach a bigger audience, or if it was done on purpose to surprise the viewer, but either way, this movie is far from a comedy and is hands down a drama with even a few metaphorical tid-bits and some film noir influences. Plot: Howard Holloway(Clark Gregg, mostly known for his role as Agent Phil Coulson in S.H.I.E.L.D., Avenger etc.) is a former child star who, after his career went down, started his own agency to represent child stars of his own. Business is running slow and to make things worse, his most promising clients are getting poached by his "arch enemy" Aldo (Sam Rockwell). His love life is not doing well either, as his approaches on his crush and neighbour Marcy(Amanda Peet) are not leading anywhere either. This all seems to change abruptly when he manages to land a promising new actress, named Lydia(Saxon Sharbino), without his doing to be honest. What does start off and sound like a "stereotypical" underdog hits big comedy plot couldn't be farther away from that. Clark Gregg (who also wrote and directed Trust Me) is taking you on a ride that starts as a mild comedy with some shades of drama and step by step turns it into a fully fledged drama that will leave you surprised. The acting throughout the whole movie is solid and really lives off the great chemistry between the actors. Especially Saxon Sharbino is standing out with her great performance that will go from childly innocent to devastated to treacherous in a heartbeat. I can't stretch this enough, but don't expect to end the movie with a smile or laughter. It really is not a comedy. The movie even has a few metaphorical tid-bits that don't really stand out at first, but at the end you get what they were supposed to mean. And on top of that the movie even has a few film noir moments that don't seem to fit at all if you got the trailer in mind, but they are scarcely spread in the movie and really fit the mood. Overall I can definitely recommend this movie.
Trust Me You'll Like It
A black comedy about a Hollywood Agent, superbly portrayed and directed by Clark Gregg. He was definitely "swimming with sharks" here. The film not only portrays the industry in a not always flattering light, but shows the obstacles that can be thrown in the way of doing the "right" thing. Some great character development, but here, as in Hollywood, who would you/should you trust? A standout performance by Saxon Sharbino, as part of a very talented cast. Definitely a film to see.
Did I like it? I don't know.
I can't add anything to the descriptions already given in previous posts. It is all they have said - well acted, well directed, unlikeable characters, twists at the end, a strange and odd ending. It's all these things. But the question I keep asking myself is "Did I like the film?" And, honestly, I don't know. There are funny scenes, heart wrenching scenes, confusing scenes. I don't know if I would ever watch it again, but,yet, I couldn't stop watching it. I wanted to know what happened next. I wanted to know how it ended. I wanted to see the whole movie. And, in the end, isn't that what movie makers want from a movie? Making us have that feeling that we MUST watch the movie to the end? Even when we can't really say we are enjoying our viewing experience, we also can't turn it off or walk away because we have to KNOW how it ends. That's how I feel about this movie. Did I like it? I can't tell you I did but I can tell you it was a movie I couldn't stop watching.
Not much of a Comedy
The movie is very lack of comedy for a movie considered as a comedy. But you can't say it's a bad movie, the storytelling was good... Until the end. The ending was very unexpected but not in a good way. Film couldn't pull it off an ending like that and it ruined the movie for me. To end a movie like that, they should have gone a different direction for the whole movie. Because it didn't fit. It was a little too dark. Clark Gregg and Amanda Peet was good though. You can say the casting is well. Nobody seemed like that they don't belong there. I guess you can watch the movie without high expectations. And without expecting a comedy of course.
