“Murder Anyone?” (* out of four) was an abysmal comedy about two hapless playwrights (Maurice Lemarche and Charles Howell IV) who are tasked with creating the next in horror and comedy phenomenon and soon find that subsequent events begin to resemble their life and that the play they’re working on is overtaking them and threatening to become a reality. Attempt at doing a twisted psychological satire on playwrighting and its effects on the playwrights themselves falls almost completely flat. Nary a chuckle is to be found and the 2 writers themselves are annoying to begin with. Based on a play but it’s unlikely that this film adaptation will make “anyone” want to check that out.
