Hilarious situational comedy about a hit-man and a columnist.

Sally writes a column about life she's never actually experienced. Albert doesn't believe in life and specializes in ending it. It's sappy and it's a feel good comedy despite the dark premise on which it's built. Just expect to laugh, there are no revelations about the nature of life, no thrilling car chases with ninja flips. Just an absurd plot that you cannot help but laugh at as it twists and turns and leaves you the better for having watched it. I cannot get more specific without including spoilers and have to fill some extra lines so here is some extra lines to make the review machine happy. Review by Draciiron.

Will make you smile

Preposterous premise and superb acting. If you enjoy intelligent people speaking and acting like intelligent people while getting into funny situations, you'll love this one. No fart jokes, no overacting, just funny situations, and poorly socialized characters trying to navigate a meaningful relationship.Example: the hitman hugs the female lead after sneaking into her apartment, and she asks, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?" after we've just seen him stuff a gun in his pocket in the previous scene. Subtle, but funny as hell, and they don't belabor it.

Woody Allen on Prozac

Please Kill Mr. Know It All feels a little like a Woody Allen movie from mid-late 90s (think Bullets over Broadway or Mighty Aphrodite), but with all of Allen's parts and dialogue edited out then the filmed slowed down a bit. The result is a situational comedy which is quieter than one would expect from the plot setup, with fewer easy gags, but still entertaining.Mr. Know It All is the nom de plume for Sally, a columnist who gives advice on everything from love to investments. As the column's popularity takes off, Sally and her editor decide to preserve the fiction that the column is written by a man, and illustrate the column with a portrait of a man - Albert - that Sally sees in a movie theater. Albert also happens to be a hit man, who is not pleased by his sudden conspicuousness. Complications ensue.Although the movie some pacing issues and a fairly predictable plot, the script is well thought out and the actors are appealing and do a credible enough job to make the movie work.
