Movie of the Week 14

The Perfect Host   2010   drama crime

Available for streaming on Prime Video

David Hyde Pierce is brilliant in this offbeat flick, as Warwick, a well-mannered, tidy host. The characters seem simple, but some will surprise with a real impact. Very effective. The plot has more twists than a tornado, yet I was still able to follow. If you like David Hyde Pierce (Dr. Niles Crane) in Frasier, then you will know some of Warwick’s mannerisms – the prissy walk, a dash of deadpan humor, a chipper smile; I expected Daphne to pop in for a quick cameo. Clever movie and does not tarry. Warning – this movie has a high spoiler alert factor.
How about some wine, Red or White?
