Film Review - Don't Tell Larry
June 17, 2025
“Don’t Tell Larry” began life as a 2018 web series, offering a no-budget take on workplace politics and relationships, sold with some wackiness. Writer/directors Greg Porper and John Schimke certainly feel confident enough to expand on the original idea, giving the concept a feature-film treatment. Escalation is the name of the game here, putting Porper and Schmike to work dreaming up ways to test the main characters while they endure a hellish week of misunderstandings, accidents, and mistakes as they try to realign office hierarchy, screwing something up at every turn. It’s the stuff of farce, and “Don’t Tell Larry” has its moments, doing just fine with leads Patty Guggenheim, Kenneth Mosley, and Kiel Kennedy. The material isn’t steady and takes too many detours into lazy stupidity, but there’s enough here to entertain for those in the mood for an offering that’s darkly comedic and decently paced.
