B.J. Novak shines as director and star of this quirky mystery-comedy. The humor leans towards dark comedy but there is still heart to the story. Sure it pokes fun at Novak as a fish-out-of-water type character and the Texas characters are the butt of jokes. But Novak directs the movie in a way that both sides learn from each other and empathize with one another. Boyd Holbrook is pretty funny in this and J. Smith-Cameron provides some emotional heft with her performance.
