It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Sarah Jane McKinney (Leslie Bibb) is a secretary of the big Judge Pharmaceutical company and devote of St. George that she believes protects her since she was a child. Sarah Jane lives in the boarding house of her mother Claire McKinney (Kathy Baker) where the Mr. Ketchum (Geoffrey Lewis) that has Alzheimer is her only client. Sarah Jane also dreams on finding her knight in shinning armor. One day, Sarah Jane's best friend, the also secretary Charmaine (Missi Pyle) shows her that the company needs a junior executive and she will apply her curriculum vitae to the position. Sarah Jane decides to do the same and she is selected to the position. However, the political lady killer Milo Beeber (Brandon Routh) is transferred to the position and she is her secretary. When he makes a pass at her, Sarah Jane goes to his flat and accidentally kills Beeber. On the next day, she is promoted to the position of junior executive again. Sarah Jane has to kill other executives to protect her and she climbs in the company. When the new guest Det. Sgt. Bill Malloy (Adam Goldberg) comes to the boarding house, they fall in love with each other. But the problem is that Malloy is the homicide detective in charge of the investigation of the murder cases."Miss Nobody" is a comedy of black humor with a dark criticism to the environment and how to climb positions in a corporation. The idea of killing bosses is not original, but he screenplay is funny and Leslie Bibb using the same style of Audrey Tautou in "Amélie Poulain". In the end, the movie entertains but the conclusion is moralist. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) : "Uma Secretária de Morte" ("A Death Secretary")

A very good looking movie that has a fluffy charm, considering its subject matter, that keeps it from becoming a real "black" comedy. It is more like a throwback to an earlier time of whimsical romps with a touch of more cynical modern sensibilities.The casting is dead-on and the Miss Nobody is cute as punch and the actress does a great job in this entertaining and fun story. There is a nice twist and the only weakness is the ending that could be much more in tune with the style that preceded. The film is a successful attempt and it is not very witty or deep, but can be enjoyed as a better than average entry into the now in vogue Premium Cable quirkiness that is always fun in its inoffensive and a bit edgy satire.

I read the four reviews preceding mine and then decided to watch the movie. I suggest you read the same reviews, not just mine, and hope you come to the same conclusion, viewing the movie.I can't understand the low ratings, or perhaps the very average one. Regardless, I was entertained and certainly would not ask for my money back. The style, or composite of styles adopted here by director Tim Cox was successful; he orchestrated the production in the best possible way to maximize the script's originality. In the opening credits , stylish animation with perfectly scored music, I saw immediately , as one can with the opening credits of the original "The Pink Panther" movie, that we were going to view a comedy certainly and one that would likely be quirky. Yes, I got all that from the opening credits. Already a sign of a pretty good production. Then the opening scene blends time-lines; one where the main character Sarah Jane McKinney played by Leslie Bibb reflects on her disappointing current life and recalls an earlier and equally disappointing preteen life (Mia Pollini plays young Sarah Jane). In that opening scene young Sarah Jane prays to Saint-George for help, then present day Sarah Jane is inspired once again to call on her favourite saint for help. The narrated events which has Sarah Jane having a pseudo-dialogue with the saint is the trademark of the film, and the whole movie is punctuated by such moments; indeed she calls on Saint-George for help and guidance, and off course he responds with signs Sarah Jane interprets as the answer she needs at the time. Every accidental murder, that's what they must be called, are intertwined by divine intervention, sort of speak.Now if you have read the full IMDb storyline, and I recommend you do, and factor in my spoiling comments above, you should have a better idea of the nature of the movie. Like my fellow reviewers, I agree the script/movie works, it just does; thanks to good performances by the cast, who, with the direction of Tim Cox, pull off a lovely dark comedy that's not as dark to watch as it will appear to be on paper. You will like Leslie Bibb, in her first lead role.

Leslie Bibb gives a wonderful performance in the lead combining a naive outlook with her own personal justification that carries the film. Everything works here, and all in all, this is a fun (and surprisingly non-violent) murderous trip into the corporate world that could well be a sleeper hit like Office Space was - it is a good little film, with loads of character actors that you'll recognize, a strong romance, and suspense, and is, all in all, a wry take on corporate life.As a massive plus, it is beautifully shot, the use of grading and filters is superb and adds much. Throughout the film the color grading and shots are really really nice and the overall sense that this was lovingly made shines through.Miss Nobody is one my favorite comedies about work since Office Space. Though much more like Amelie than an out and out satire, this tale of the secretary who almost innocently murders her way to the top of the corporate ladder is actually engaging and fun.
