Tina Fey is such a terrible actress and looks so old and out of place in this movie it makes what was a promising start turn to mulch very quickly. John Hamm looks disinterested at best and the little Indian actor from Ted Lasso isn't funny (believe it or not he is meant to be a comedian). The movie has the feel of a B movie but the story does start well. Unfortunately the side story and incredibly awkward romance between Hamm and Fey like so many films now makes you loose complete interest in the main storyline. The moment they are in a hotel room discussing their past relationships (one windowed and one divorce) the STOP button on the remote was firmly pressed. Makes you realise how good the script for Mad Men really was as John Hamm displayed that his acting skills aren't as broad as Hollywood gives him credit. Either that or maybe this is actually where he belongs. In B rated movies. Don't waste your time.

I'm really starting to like Jon Hamm in his recent movies. He plays a calm mature and sweet man very well. This time as a policeman. If you are tired of CGI films without a story, of Hollywood pap that just wants kids through the doors, try this film. So it's a murder mystery (for the policeman, the viewer knows who did it, but its nice watching them go through the process). Also, there are novel and interesting characters that interact beautifully. To be honest all the characters were acted well, and half the film really is about the dilemmas of the 4 or 5 key characters. Although there are some deaths, its not excessively gory and it isn't an action film. Reminds me a bit of the murder mysteries we'd see in the late 80s, but in this story is much better, characters are 3d, and filming very polished. Yep, the story is a little quirky, but pretty believable. There is a romantic sub-plot, which is complicated by one being a widower, and the other being divorced, but it takes on some modern themes very well. For me a good film requires a good and well told story, with good characters. This is what this film is. No high drama (except may a little toward end, and a bit of a surprise), but I loved the way it was presented and paced. Made it feel like real life without being dull at any time. Maybe the film is an 8, but I gave it a 9 just because it was laid out so well and skillfully. Maybe people under 25 will find it slow or no dramatic enough, but I think most older people (male and female) will find this a fulfilling film covering a few interesting themes and with an interesting murder mystery aspect. Comedy? Not really, though some light touches which are sweet/funnyish. Go on, give it a go.

What an utterly nasty plot, with dreadful characters all the way around, and no joy to be had. I watched it because I saw that the cast included John Hamm, Tina Fey and Nick Mohammed, all fine actors, which should have guaranteed at least a 6/10 viewing experience. But sadly, no. I'm not sure whether the director or the storyline was to blame, but it was as though various characters wandered in from a dozen different movies and extemporized the dialogue after reading a two-line plot synopsis. Nothing hung together. Tonally, it was a disaster. I'm guessing someone thought this would be a cute caper movie with some snappy lines, but that idea was impossible to convey given a number of grisly plot twists that undercut any whimsy that was supposed to exist. Just save yourself the effort and skip it,

A husband killed his wife by some hitman becozz she wants to complaint abt his forgery in his canteen... Then he killed another lady with same name to distract the police... At last a protogonist and investigator find the killer... Nice script but poorly executed... Very predictable and poor climax... Onetime watchable movie..!

Maggie Moore(s) is a new crime comedy directed by John Slattery. He is more known as an actor but has previously directed the movie God's Pocket. He has also directed several episodes of the TV series Mad Men, in which actor John Hamm also played a major role. Local Sheriff Jordan Sanders (Jon Hamm) teams up with his deputy Reddy (Nick Mohammed) to solve a murder mystery. The murder mystery is about two women with the same name, Maggie Moore, who were murdered in quick succession in the same town. This murder mystery seems to affect the entire small town and leads to many different clues and suspects, even one of the partners of one of the victims. Director John Slattery has not directed any films since 2014. The same applies to script writer Paul Bernbaum, who has not written an independent script since 2006. The fact that both have not been active in this profession for a while can unfortunately be seen in the final film. For example, the story is told from too many different angles, such as that of the police sheriff, the mastermind of the murders, the killer himself, and some witness. By showing all these different angles, the story sometimes remains difficult to follow. Because as a viewer you also get more and earlier answers than, for example, the police sheriff himself, you can also keep anticipating the story. The murder mystery and who the perpetrators are, for example, is shown to you as a viewer all too quickly. As a result, the murder mystery only loses its mysterious sides. Had they brought the story from lesser sides, the movie could have remained more of a murder mystery. As a viewer you would have had a chance to try to solve this mystery yourself. Despite the lesser script, Jon Hamm puts in good and appropriate acting as a police sheriff who tries to investigate everything down to the smallest details. Together with Nick Mohammed, he comes across as a good and credible police sheriff with a deputy sheriff, who always tries to deliver comedy at the wrong times. Tina Fey sometimes also comes across as a nosy neighbor who tries to get everything on board rather than her character being really helpful to the story. They also set up a kind of dating story between her and Jon Hamm that seems a bit detached compared to the rest of the film. The angle of the creator of the murders is also less interesting to follow, because this is a less enjoyable storyline and you don't really care about this character anyway.

A bit disappointing to be honest. Looking at the cast and plotline I was excited to finally watch a good comedy in the theater. But we chuckled softly maybe once or twice and left with an unsatisfied feeling. It's not horrible, in the sense that if you were to stream it at home to kill some time it would be sort of okay, I guess? Micah Stock's acting made me cringe though & I don't get how Jon Ham & Tina Fey signed up for this after reading the script. Nick Mohammed was the only one actually making it work somehow. It felt like they were shooting on a low budget and ran out halfway through.
