Ever since the murder of his wife (Kristen Marie Perry), Rob (Sanjay
Rao), a slightly delusional man who's constantly exaggerating his talents
and who thinks himself to be an excellent detective, tries to find her
killer, a man known as Jack S. - and his cop friend Frank (Jeff Riberdy)
even provides him with clues from time to time. And the latest clue leads
to barmaid Hannah (Emily Trent), who's apparently in an abusive
relationship with Jack. It doesn't take Rob long to make up a plan that's
beneficial for both him - he gets his hands on the killer of his wife -
and her - she gets rid of Jack -, which involves faking her murder and
leaving incriminating evidence behind that directly points to Jack. Now
the reasoning is, if Jack is incriminated in the murder, he'll try to
track down Hannah and this way ultimately walk into Rob's trap. Now Rob
and Hannah plan all of this quite meticulously - with the help of local
videostore clerk and wannabe screenwriter Antonio (Chad Hamilton) -, but
then when the trap's finally set, Hannah bolts and the man (Raleigh
Moore) Rob takes for Jack turns out to actually be a cop confronting him with
some uncomfortable facts ... Now my synopsis probably doesn't
make it very clear, but Bad Romance is actually a comedy - and a
pretty funny one at that, as it plays with many neo-noir elements, takes
them apart and puts them back together awkwardly, exaggerates or
understates genre tropes to comical effect, and relishes in loading the
whole thing with several unexpected plottwists too many while seemingly
making up its psychological undercurrents while it goes along. But it's
more than just a genre parody, as it actually manages to tell an engaging
story and doesn't shy away from serious or even sad moments to break up
the comedy a bit. And a cast that mixes comedic and straight actors to
full effect as well as a genre-savvy direction see to it that this has
turned out to be a wildly funny genre film.
