...this Neil Simon-scripted pastiche of an array of much-loved detective characters is surprisingly charming, with more good, smart lines to the page than any of the competition and a top-flight cast.

Love it. What Knives out and Glass Onion tried to accomplish. This though is a much funnier film in my book.
