The Flick: "A Little Help" is a classic example of a film that has some tremendously terrific scenes but falls apart as a single piece of cinema.  Meaning for all the captivating moments within, in the end it just doesn’t flow as a film.  Fischer is definitely engaging as a dressed dental hygienist, but there’s such a rag tag bunch of storylines around her that watching is like running a movie marathon.  See Fischer with her awkward son, over-bearing family, rude husband who dies, on a date with a gamey Jim Florentine, and even being barraged by ruthless lawyer Kim Coates.  (Not enough – that’s not even the half of it!)  As mentioned there are some decent scenes and even engaging story lines (the one between her and brother-in-law Rob Benedict should have ruled the whole film!), but all come in either too early, too late and even sometimes out of nowhere – it’s the editor who seems to have truly needed a little help.

Best Feature: There are only a slew of drab 'Interviews' that watching range from ho-hum to sore bum.

Best Hidden Gem: Again, the scenes between Fischer and Benedict are the best in the film – even if they do come to a peak at almost the end of the film!

Worth the Moola: If seeing a few great scenes in a single film that’s almost incoherent is your cup of tea, drink up.
