If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)

Premise: So Linda’s not having the time of her life, to put it lightly. Her young daughter needs one of those gastric tubes to help her put on some weight, Linda’s basically on the verge of a breakdown, her husband’s away working so she doesn’t have any outside help and honestly it feels like the whole universe is trying to make a point about how much it dislikes her. And then a huge hole appears on the ceiling of her house and she needs to move with her ill daughter and all that to a crappy motel where things only get even worse. Such a pleasant ride!

Under 90 minutes? Nope, it was almost 115 minutes long.
Do they say the title? No, and I wish they did because boy that’s a great, great title!

First thing I thought of:

Okay, more: Well that was a lovely and not stressful at all movie! Ahem. Yeah so somehow it manages to still be an extremely dark comedy, wikipedia said it was drama but to me at least that was horror. And yeah, what a ride, Linda’s the kind of character you’d hate to interact with in real life and at the same time it’s like she can’t take a break. Everything keeps getting worse and worse, I know I shouldn’t but I intensely hated the annoying daughter, then it keeps getting worse and then it ends. This is all said in a laudatory way, I really liked this one.

A simple way to improve it: I would have named the movie something like “I should have drowned you the first time I gave you a bath”. If that’s not possible, I would have liked a flashback to the hamster scene later in the movie just because I would have laughed like an idiot with any kind of callback.

Trivia about the IMDb trivia:

At 26:40, when Linda reads an online article about the “notorious murdering Nanny of New York City”, the word “Nanny” is incorrectly capitalized in the first sentence.

Let’s keep in mind we’re talking about a fake online news site, then,
