Mike Case in: The Big Kiss Off (2013)

Mike Case in: The Big Kiss Off: Directed by Justin Baird. With Scott Ganyo, Kenyon Glover, Tony Gracia, David Alan Graf. Mike Case is a low-rent private detective who works out of his car and advertises on Craigslist. When approached by the wealthy socialite Victoria Billows to find her missing husband, Mike is initially reluctant (“A missing husband? Never heard that one before”) but is persuaded to take the case by Victoria’s money and her not so subtle feminine charms.

“Greetings from DoWnUnDeR. Unfortunately I must agree with finetunes on this one. It is a second rate, discombobulated mess. Perhaps the class of u0026#39;21 here has much higher standards than the class of u0026#39;14 but this is a disjointed, unfunny and ridiculously scripted second rate college production. Written and produced by the star of the show, itu0026#39;s probably a self financed ego run and, no offence Mr. Mahoney, but handsome, romantic lead? Unfortunate but true, youu0026#39;re never gonna cut it in that field my man. Script and cinematography is spasmodic, uneven and character development is non existent. I am still unsure of whom some of the u0026quot;hottiesu0026quot; are or how they were involved or how, why and where some of the beatings occurred. The dialogue is completely forced and unrealistic. A big disappointment because I saw the reviews and planned my evening around my love of a potentially humorous film noir and this ainu0026#39;t no Maltese Falcon.”
