Product Description

After getting fired by her scheming husband Shane Danger from his cappuccino shop, dissatisfied Lulu Danger (Aubrey Plaza) is stunned when a TV commercial for "An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn For One Magical Night Only" reveals a mysterious man from her past (Craig Robinson). When Shane and his bumbling cohorts steal the cashbox from Lulu's adopted vegan brother Adjay, specialist Colin (Jemaine Clement) enters the fray to retrieve the stolen funds. But Lulu seizes the opportunity to run off in search of her mystery man—and events only become stranger from there. This is a story of love, theft, athletic swimming, and a magical magical event.

If you love movies like The Greasy Strangler, then you will love this. It's made by the same director but it's toned down for a more mainstream audience. Still the awkward comedy and timing is all there and has that signature staple to it. 10/10

Napoleon Dynamite meets David Lynch is accurate

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019

Pair the offbeat tone of Napoleon Dynamite with the sinister music of David Lynch and you've got this. It was quite hilarious. Of course Jemaine Clement rules in whatever he's in. The only thing I didn't like were all the love stories at the end of the movie. It's predictable territory for such a quirky movie. But the "Evening" itself I did not expect. I was fully anticipating Beverly to sing that Crash Test Dummies song.

Update 6/10/19: I revisited this after seeing Jim Hosking's other movie, The Greasy Strangler. I thought Strangler was superior. They are actually two different movies, with a similar tone. I did think Beverly Luff Linn was awesome, but was still thrown by the traditional love story at the end. Then they dance? I mean, that's just tacked on. This one was done for a major studio (Universal), which really makes me wonder if someone with money had their say.

I rented this because it had Matt Berry, but he wasn’t even the best part of the movie! It was bizarre but never dull.

I watched this because I loved and was disgusted by the “Greasy Strangler”. This was a jumbled mess but not in a “so awful it’s good”— kind of way. The only woman is pretty one dimensional trope. She’s a lazy bored woman in an unfulfilling relationship with a loser. Of course she kidnaps a stranger after taking his gun and steals her vegan brother’s life savings. She pining for another jerk who abandoned her by faking his death. Her only objective is to bounce from one guy to another. The men are funny idiots that do gross or inappropriate things. Can’t the characters be more? The “Greasy Strangler” has pathos and a power struggle and slap stick. As gross as it was you related to the sadness of a son who hates his parent and the feeling of a inescapable situation. “An Evening with Beverly Luff Lin” is a waste of time the character have no goals or purpose.

Not clever, not funny, not amusing, not fun

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I don't take an intellectual or academic approach to movie reviews. I just say what I liked or didn't. There was nothing about this movie to like. I thought the writers and the director were lazy, and they didn't have much of an idea to begin with. We kept waiting for it to get better, but it just didn't. Complete waste of time and money.

References from some obscure places.
It's a fun, absurdist movie, and I'd give it a watch if you like non-sequitur humor.
Acting was insane. I wonder if the actors knew how it would turn out?
Valerie was my favorite, closely seconded by Adjay.
Karl, you win. That was the best acting of a laugh I've ever seen.
Leads, of course, kudos for the performances too.

I am a fan of all the actors. This movie is strange. I usually can't watch a movie all the way through (I get bored) but I watched this one. The strangeness kept my attention

Waste of time

I have a baby so when I finally get some time to myself it’s precious. They’re we’re a couple funny parts here and there but overall very boring and dull. Wouldn’t recommend.

This won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you like weird, quirky, slightly bizarre humour and oddball characters, you'll love this. Hilarious!

From the Director of The Greasy Strangler - low budget comedy with a surprise ending. May not be to everyone's taste but we thought it was great

After the Greasy Strangler a much sweeter but no less strange experience, Deserves cult status and Aubrey Plaza is a delight.

Well there’s 104 mins of my life I won’t get back......Total cobblers! With Matt Berry in it I expected riotous off kilter comedy joy, all I got was a feeling of disappointment & bad wind!
