This is an uneven film with a couple of glaring inconsistencies, but director Slattery has a fine sense of framing and pacing, and the top-notch cast handles the clever dialogue with aplomb. Read full review

Slattery and Bernbaum’s adherence to genre standards may hold Maggie Moore(s) back from doing anything new in its space, but not from doing anything worthwhile. There’s nothing wrong with a messy low-level crime movie done right. Read full review

Maggie Moore(s) sun-baked backdrop — it was shot in and around Albuquerque — imbues the crime drama with a contrarian vibe that might be called Coen-esque though with much less umph than No Country for Old Men. It’s an enjoyable watch to be sure, but not destined to be memorable. Read full review

[Hamm’s] charm—and a reunion with his 30 Rock co-star Tina Fey—can’t salvage a middling caper that’s critically low on comedic or criminal verve. Read full review

The story’s center isn’t strong enough for the rest of its disparate parts to hold. Read full review

The “aw shucks” small town vibe of it all, complete with Hamm being seen as the most eligible bachelor around, eventually codes Maggie Moore(s) as more of a rom-com than a murder mystery. But weighed down with a cliched script and tired acting, the film doesn’t fully land either genre seamlessly. Read full review

Hamm can be a stealth comedic force in any project, adding a slight escalation or modulation of the energy level to alter the stakes. He has a unique talent for somehow fusing the comic man and straight man personas into one. Yet Maggie Moore(s) gives him no chance to play either because Slattery cannot decide if his “Mad Men” co-star is the lead of a romantic drama or a heist flick. Read full review

Part of me had a good degree of interest in this film because I was under the impression that it could be a fun black comedy. But boy was I disappointed.

But boy was I disappointed. It has a decent start but very soon loses all the humor and becomes a mess of nonsensical plot twists and bland characters that don't make any sense and drain all the thrust out of it, giving all the ground to its poor execution and how basic the script becomes as it progresses until it concludes in such a bland and boring way.

I won't say that this would have been an exceptional black comedy but the wastefulness of its poor performance leads to an annoying disappointment.… Expand
