Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, as everyone knows. Netflix is going crazy for this day, and since the day before they have been preparing a special anniversary, with this movie from Poland, “Kill Me If You Dare” that left us with a taste of, let’s be honest, very little.
“Kill Me If You Dare” is a comedy that didn’t make us laugh much, with a rather innocent, superficial and uncreative humor about a not-so-new idea in a rather unoriginal plot.
It’s good in technical and production aspects, with good photography quality, but in terms of creativity, it’s a movie that doesn’t manage to stand out in its originality or performances.
However, it’s in line with Polish productions, which seem to get a lot of views with little risk. So, without a doubt, these productions have their audience.
Plot
A couple plays the lottery and wins a prize, which leads them to consider each other’s death to keep the prize. Meanwhile, their respective “best friends” seem very interested in getting their hands on the prize.
Movie review
Take “Kill Me If You Dare” and try to look on the bright side: it’s a comedy that, without offending anyone, is taken lightly and, without committing or taking risks, doesn’t demand too much from the viewer. One of those movies that can be watched while doing something else, in the afternoon, with a simple plot that turns dark humor into touches of humor for (almost) the whole family.
The plot constantly relies on comedy clichés, even with the “funny” friends of the couple, who are partly the ones who keep the attention and have some dialogue lines with sparks.
A movie that borders on a retro style, a sort of “Arsenic and Old Lace” (1944), from which we would have taken away the two charming old ladies and given it a facelift to try to turn it into a family movie with dark humor, a combination that is almost impossible, and even more with this result.
Our Opinion
A movie that lacks the spark and daring of this type of film. Good production in technical aspects, with good photography, but little risk in a script that, without betting on anything, simply meets the objectives of the production company without thinking (barely) about the viewer. A comedy as easy to watch as it is to forget.
