"Girl Most Likely" has many elements of a good movie and features an exciting cast of Kristen Wiig, Anette Benning, Matt Dillon and Darren Criss. Despite this, the film missed some important aspects. Perhaps because it was directed not by one person, but two or maybe because the film seemed improvised and like a first draft. The film follows a typical plot of a New Yorker losing her job and her boyfriend and finding herself in a quarter/mid life crisis. After a misconstruing a faux suicide note Imogene (Kristen Wiig) finds herself under the care of her mother in New Jersey only to find that her childhood room is now being rented out to a stranger (Darren Criss) and her mother has a faux CIA agent boyfriend, George Bousche (Matt Dillon). In addition, she has just learned that her supposedly dead father is in fact, alive. Now, Imogene has to find a way to get her life back together and get back to New York.
As expected the plot finds a resolution all too easily. Regardless of the writing, fans of Wiig will still laugh at the awkward she so famously brings to her characters. Imogene also finds herself without her wardrobe in New Jersey and had to rummage through the boxes of her old belongings in the basement. Throughout the movie Wiig's character is dressed in humorous 80's outfits. It does speak volumes about Kristen Wiig that she chose to turn down a sequel to the blockbuster hit, "Bridesmaids," to pursue an independent film career. "Girl Most Likely" is in theaters now.
