Girl Most Likely looks like it aims to be a quirky screwball comedy and fails dismally on all three counts. Poor Kristen Wiig tries to wring something - anything - out of the woefully insubstantial material but even with her talent so many lines and scenes tail off into nothing, Annette Bening simply looks lost, Matt Dillon's role is at best ridiculous, and even though Darren Criss makes a reasonable stab at the only vaguely believable character in the whole film he is little more than female-fantasy cougar-totty. The daftness and lack of credibility of the situations, coupled with resolutely unengaging characters across the board who are hard to warm to, make this a truly bemusing and vapid viewing experience.
