Magic Marmalade 10th Jan 2022		Rated 7/10 A light, yet quirky oddball comedy take on a Hitchcock style tale of suspense. Another of those that I had not seen for a while, and had my misgivings about how well it might have aged... or not. ...Fortunately, I was, for the most part, pleasantly surprised, for while some of Mike Myers quirks, and comedy stylings have aged rather badly ("Helloooo!" < type of thing, that he does), they are very infrequent, and don't spoil an otherwise enjoyable pastiche of a Hitchcock like setup and story: Mike Myers being a guy who has commitment issues, and is always finding fault with anyone he is in a relationship with, even for the most tenuous of reasons, so that he can get out of the situation as soon as possible and avoid anything serious... ...Until, of course, he meets the "perfect woman", and begins to fall for her, and the relationship develops rapidly to the point of marriage (The point of no return? :). ...Unfortunately, she may or may not be an axe wielding serial husband killer. And now the tables turn, in that where previously, his friends (one of whom happens to be a policeman) where constantly on at him for ditching women for trivial reasons, now don't believe him now that he has grounds for legitimate suspicion. There's still lots of laughs and fun in this, despite some broad humour of the time, but nothing to get worked up about, and this is mainly because it is, as I said, lightly handled.... And with a surprisingly well conceived and structured story, worthy perhaps, of having a more serious, straight up suspense thriller approach! Worth a couple of hours of your time for a bit of fun, I'd say. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
