What's the Story?
In 7 WOMEN AND A MURDER, an older man is found murdered in his bedroom. 7 women come together, many of whom live in the same house, to find out who did it. But soon, they start to suspect each other.
Is It Any Good?
A somewhat clever take on the murder mystery genre finds some good fun, especially in the performances. Whether the actual comedy in 7 Women and a Murder is successful will vary, but the film is playful, fun, and a fast watch. Some of the characters are thinly drawn, but each is performed with gusto and moxie by the cast, who clearly had a fun time. This lack of weight or seriousness might be too off-putting for some, but it's consistent.
Further, sometimes some of the goofiness ruins the suspension of disbelief, but the pace and mini-reveals happen so quickly that it's never long until the next bit, scene, catastrophe, or surprise. The ending may divide a few, but once finished, most won't feel like it was a complete waste of time.
