Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie (2017)
LA homicide detective Gene Handsome's knack for solving mysteries is matched only by his inability to make sense of his own problems.

Thought this would go more towards the old Police Squad type movies but it just stayed pretty straight. Nothing great but decent acting. I've seen a lot worse.I enjoy the main actor when he's playing off someone else like he does in Curb. Bummer that we only get 30 seconds of Kaley Cuoco.
If you like the humor on Curb Your Enthusiasm, you will enjoy this movie. There was a fair amount of raunchy but fun humor. I enjoyed it a lot and recommend it!
Just watched this Netflix Comedy "Handsome" about an overweight detective solving a murder in quirky L.A. The movie is a little bit of Hollywood making fun of itself. It's clear from the start that this isn't a mystery as the killer in the show announces to the audience that he is in fact the killer at the beginning. There is almost nothing serious in this film, which again , is clear from the outset. The detective squad is staffed with feckless, oddballs. Handsome appears to be the only one there with an ounce of common sense. His female partner is more concerned with getting laid than following leads, but she comes through when needed. It is one of those films that was over long before I wanted it to be. I hope there will be a series spinoff of this show.
Well sort of. Some make fun of the fact that the star of the movie, also wrote and directed it. That doesn't make a movie good or bad. In this case, I would call it mediocre. There are quite a few faces you may recognize (I'm guessing friends?) and one particular female even plays herself in a very odd, let's call it cameo, towards the end of the movie.The "whodunnit" aspect is I guess nice, but it's not really an edge of your seat kind of thing. The whole movie is more shallow and tries to be as light as possible. I'd say it succeeds in that aspect overall. Although that also means you as a viewer are not as engaged as you may be with other movies of similar nature and content you have been watching. So if you have the spare time and like the genre, you can risk a look at this ...
