Miss Nobody (2010)

Absolutely the worst movie.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

When I sat down to watch "Miss Nobody" it was without any prior knowledge about what the movie was about, who starred in it and without any expectations of what the movie would be like. All I knew was that it was a dark comedy.It turned out that writer Doug Steinberg had come up with a rather funny script for this movie. And director Abram Cox brought the story to life on the screen in a very entertaining way.The storyline in "Miss Nobody", shortly summarized, is about a secretary who scales the corporate ladder at record speed but leaves a trail of dead bodies in her wake."Miss Nobody" works out quite well because it is a wonderful combination of dark, twisted comedy and likable characters. And the fact that the cast ensemble were good and did great jobs with their roles and characters was just a plus, of course.And while we are on the topic of the cast, then I will say that Leslie Bibb was doing a phenomenal job of carrying the movie with her performance. And there were some great supportive appearances from talents such as Adam Goldberg, Kathy Baker, Missi Pyle, Brandon Routh, Vivica A. Fox and Barry Bostwick whom all really added a lot to the movie, despite most of them having very small roles actually.The situations portrayed in "Miss Nobody" definitely had a great part to say about the outcome of the movie. And here writer Doug Steinberg proved to be very talented, because he had come up with some very hilarious situations for the characters. There are some good laughs to be had throughout the course of this movie.If you enjoy a dark comedy, then "Miss Nobody" is definitely a movie that you should take the time to sit down and watch. It turned out to be quite a surprise and a very entertaining movie in my opinion.

"Miss Nobody" is a funny but very dark comedy. I am pretty sure it's a bit too dark for all tastes, but I liked the film's sick and twisted sense of humor. Additionally, the film seems to be strongly inspired by the wonderful musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying"...if it was written by a serial killer!The film begins with cute Sarah (Leslie Bibb) applying for an executive job at her company. Sure, she fudged a lot of her resume, but you're pulling for the young lady because she's just so nice and spunky. However, her new job is very short-lived, as at the last second the job is given to another--and now he is Sarah's new boss. To make matters worse, he's a real jerk. When he tries to sexually assault poor Sarah, he falls and is accidentally impaled. Sarahs is not only saved but now she is given the job she had been offered.Soon, Sarah is making a very good impression as an exec. However, inexplicably, one of her tough-as-nails coworkers announces that she KNOWS Sarah murdered her boss. Well, once again, this bad person dies accidentally. Normal folks would assume this is all random chance. However, Sarah's convinced herself that this is all the work of her guardian angel...and that it would be okay if she sometimes helped him when people really deserved it. So, soon she's out helping the angel...and killing her way to the top of the company! Can she manage to avoid detection and live happily ever after?As I mentioned above, I thought the film was very funny but with all the killing and mayhem, it might put off some sensitive viewers. Additionally, the film has a few unnecessary scenes that make it a rated R film--which is inexplicable. It easily could have been PG-13 and why they had to have one or two brief scenes with nudity and language, I have no idea. Well worth seeing and rather sick.

Sarah Jane McKinney (Leslie Bibb) is a secretary of the big Judge Pharmaceutical company and devote of St. George that she believes protects her since she was a child. Sarah Jane lives in the boarding house of her mother Claire McKinney (Kathy Baker) where the Mr. Ketchum (Geoffrey Lewis) that has Alzheimer is her only client. Sarah Jane also dreams on finding her knight in shinning armor. One day, Sarah Jane's best friend, the also secretary Charmaine (Missi Pyle) shows her that the company needs a junior executive and she will apply her curriculum vitae to the position. Sarah Jane decides to do the same and she is selected to the position. However, the political lady killer Milo Beeber (Brandon Routh) is transferred to the position and she is her secretary. When he makes a pass at her, Sarah Jane goes to his flat and accidentally kills Beeber. On the next day, she is promoted to the position of junior executive again. Sarah Jane has to kill other executives to protect her and she climbs in the company. When the new guest Det. Sgt. Bill Malloy (Adam Goldberg) comes to the boarding house, they fall in love with each other. But the problem is that Malloy is the homicide detective in charge of the investigation of the murder cases."Miss Nobody" is a comedy of black humor with a dark criticism to the environment and how to climb positions in a corporation. The idea of killing bosses is not original, but he screenplay is funny and Leslie Bibb using the same style of Audrey Tautou in "Amélie Poulain". In the end, the movie entertains but the conclusion is moralist. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) : "Uma Secretária de Morte" ("A Death Secretary")

Leslie Bibb gives a wonderful performance in the lead combining a naive outlook with her own personal justification that carries the film. Everything works here, and all in all, this is a fun (and surprisingly non-violent) murderous trip into the corporate world that could well be a sleeper hit like Office Space was - it is a good little film, with loads of character actors that you'll recognize, a strong romance, and suspense, and is, all in all, a wry take on corporate life.As a massive plus, it is beautifully shot, the use of grading and filters is superb and adds much. Throughout the film the color grading and shots are really really nice and the overall sense that this was lovingly made shines through.Miss Nobody is one my favorite comedies about work since Office Space. Though much more like Amelie than an out and out satire, this tale of the secretary who almost innocently murders her way to the top of the corporate ladder is actually engaging and fun.
