Once Upon a Crime

About This Movie

Once Upon a Crime is an interesting blend of comedy and mystery, directed by Eugene Levy, who brings his unique touch to the ensemble cast. The film has a quirky charm as it follows a group of couples on their way to Monte Carlo, intertwining their fates with a murder mystery that unfolds amidst the backdrop of beautiful scenery and impending chaos. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which oddly adds to the chaotic humor of the narrative. The performances are delightful, especially the chemistry between the couples navigating both their relationships and the unfolding crime. And let’s not forget the practical effects, which, while not groundbreaking, serve the story well without overshadowing the comedy.
