Review – So I Married an Axe Murderer

Michael Myers does romantic comedy. Not! The actor’s goofy, spastic antics, which seemed so appropriate to SNL characters such as Wayne and Dieter, come off completely wrong when he’s trying to play a character we’re expected to believe a normal woman would actually fall in love with. Part of the trick here is that our heroine may in fact be a serial killer, but even a demented maniac would have to be pretty damn desperate to want to marry a character as annoying as the one Myers plays. I guess maybe there’s a clever moment or two (for example, the obnoxious, Scottish dad, also played by Myers, is occasionally sort of amusing). But the worthwhile parts are too few and far between to warrant the time it takes to wade through this predictable, unfunny comedy. See if desperate
