Laugh-Out-Loud New Flick.
By Gordon Durich
The dark comedy Don’t Tell Larry, starring the inimitable Ed Begley Jr. as Bruce is laugh-out-loud funny. The plot follows Susan (Patty Guggenheim), a driven corporate office worker whose supposed harmless white lie to her eccentric, truth-obsessed co-worker Larry (Kiel Kennedy) sets off a fatal chain of events.
Her lie leads to tragedy and Larry appears to be the culprit. Susan enlists her cubicle-mate Patrick (played by Kenneth Mosley) to help cover it up—only to unleash a chaotic spiral of increasingly absurd consequences. Drug testing and a hilarious result!
An ensemble cast of comedic greats make Don’t Tell Larry a treat to watch. I really loved the movie A Mighty Wind which saw Begley Jr. play Lars, and this new film is in the similar whacky and irreverent tone.
Dot-Marie Jones (Glee), rocker Billy Blair of The Last Stand fame and the versatile Bruce Davis contribute their talents to this hilarious thriller romp.
Check out the trailer here:
Indie director Greg Porper produces the film alongside John Schimke (Red Table Talk). Porper, the Worst Birthday Ever director also wrote this summer edgy entertainment. Unrated.
