I really liked the movie, it's a fun concept and would also do well as a TV series.
Handsome (played by Jeff Garlin) is a rather slow, but very intelligent and down-to-earth detective. Somehow his entourage and more or less all other characters in the movie are just nuts, and it's extremely funny to see the main character (Handsome) interacting with them in his slow and down-to-earth way. And i think this is the fun of the movie, these interactions and scenes.
A downer is that the murderer is already revealed in the first scene, it does not really make sense to do that - unless it's a marketing thing :) But maybe it's also a Columbo-kinda thing. On the other hand, the fun part of the movie is really the character interactions. You should not expect a real murder mystery movie.
It does have a "Curb your enthusiasm" vibe to it somehow. I think if you like Jeff Garlins humour you'll like the movie as well.
