After breaking out in the frightfully gross road movie \u201cJeepers Creepers\u201d and popping in aughts comedies like \u201cDodgeball\u201d and \u201cAccepted,\u201d the 45-year-old has been on screen long enough to be getting genre-movie roles tailor-made for him \u2014\u00a0or at least uniquely suited to his strength \u2014 playing (not so) \u201cnice guys\u201d in all their dishonesty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Having tested the waters as an East Coast professor on probation in \u201cAfter Class\u201d and an idiot Hollywood hotshot facing a #MeToo storm in last year\u2019s \u201cBarbarian,\u201d Long follows up as the big bad in the horror comedy \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Knife,\u201d released in theaters Nov. 10, before streaming on Shudder down the road. As the murderous mogul Henry Waters, who slices down anyone that stands in the way of his town\u2019s redevelopment, Long steals the show once again. His have-at-it fun and eerie eyes provide a manic glee that the rest of director Tyler MacIntyre\u2019s oddly tempered slasher riff on Frank Capra\u2019s Christmas classic could stand to match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    MacIntyre is clearly ecstatic to have Long onboard. Waters is the first character to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear, whispering like Dorothy Michaels through a wide toothy grin and sporting a seasonally inappropriate tan. \u201cWe got Justin Long!\u201d the film seems to triumphantly announce. That makes it all the more intriguing when Waters is unmasked by the plucky high schooler Winnie Carruthers (Jane Widdop) before the opening title card even appears. After a bloody murder sends a high school party into a panic, Winnie ends up saving her brother Jimmy (Aiden Howard) by killing Waters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    A year later, the freak encounter has ended up revitalizing Winnie\u2019s town. The streets are in high holiday spirits. Winnie\u2019s brother and father (Joel McHale) become an altruistic real estate duo on the rise. It\u2019s merry and bright for everyone \u2014 except Winnie, who is frustrated by her family\u2019s ability to move on from the terrorizing incident. And her boyfriend is cheating on her!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Whether that appears to be enough for the teenager to wish for a world where she\u2019d never been born seems to be a stretch that \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Knife\u201d has little investment in justifying. Every movie has a title, and it must be lived up to. So, like Jimmy Stewart\u2019s George Bailey, Winnie erases her existence and discovers that she\u2019s pretty important to those around her. Her neighborhood becomes a hedonistic dump overflowing with foreclosed businesses, with the money-grubbing slasher she had killed now serving as the local mayor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Working under some modest resources, the team shrewdly focuses on realizing the small-town setting. Production designer Tiana P. Gordon finds some humor redressing sets for this more miserable reality. The Carruthers family\u2019s already ugly suburban home becomes a messy, cavernous den of infidelity, ruled by a decrepit, wine-drunk Mom (Erin Boyes).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Knife\u201d is most inspired by such now-this-is-that revelations, but writer Michael Kennedy\u2019s screenplay frequently gets bogged down by an impulse to overexplain a plot that should be familiar to anyone who understands what the title is referencing. Winnie and her budding crush, the high school pariah Bernie (Jess McLeod), have conversations that run in circles, flattening what should be a winning queer romance. The blunt-force dialogue can lead to some amusing moments though: \u201cI had one kid! Now I have none!\u201d McHale bellows in a failed attempt to break from his otherwise well-deployed smarm. The line is the 28th or 29th clarification of the premise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    MacIntyre\u2019s direction is unfussy enough for \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Knife\u201d to recover from such awkward moments. But the frequent stabs at horror are just as easily forgotten. The genre slant promised by the title seems to be less of a tonal responsibility than an excuse to abruptly break out into the occasional suspense set piece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film is defined by an overruling superfluousness \u2014 it\u2019s the sort of thing people might be satisfied with watching from the corner of their eyes while wrapping presents. At least with the inclusion of Long, who returns to take center stage for the climax (naturally), it finds the momentum to get to the finish line. Even after the viewer puts all the gifts under the tree and discovers there\u2019s still 20 minutes left, Henry Waters is a strong enough reason to see things through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
