Story: In Canada, a woman named Kyra goes to the office of the middle-aged clumsy salesman Leo Falloon by mistake believing that he is a private detective. She hires him to help her to find her missing brother Milles Severeign and Leo is so spellbound by the blonde that he does not tell her that he is not who she is looking for. Leo decides to pose as a private detective and he gets involved in a complicated scheme of computer game corporations seeking high profits.
Likes : It not a film i would go in to with high expectations as it a pretty average dark comedy with a 50s style detective story where a woman looking for answer about some man goes to a man in office & ask for help only this guy isn't a private detective more of a salesman caught up in a web of lies.
Brent Butt (Corner Gas) plays Leo Falloon, a bumbling middle-aged logo salesman who's so smitten by the mysterious blonde named Kyra (Amy Smart) who asks him to help find her missing brother that he neglects to tell her she's in the wrong office. That sets up a long-winded plot about corporate espionage in the computer game world with steely eyed corporate chiefs and an over sized goon. Butt is a decent word-spinner and self-deprecating funny man, but the decision to have the rest of the cast play it straight maybe is not the best decision. A few scenes of Leo Fallon exchanging banter with his buddy Ernie (David Koechner of Get Smart & Anchorman 1 and 2), prove more rewarding than the cliché murder plot that occupies most of the movie. The overall rating of the movie is not bad, if you looking for a little bit of smirking & chuckles nothing really laugh out loud comedy this is one film to watch. No Clue is definitely worth watching for the light heart comedy.
Dislikes : i feel his film could of had a bit more funny moments but as for the film as a whole it was ok.
Overall : Smirk chuckles comedy, very light heart, not bad acting.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.1 out of 10 for comedy / story-line.
