Girl Most Likely

 
photo for Girl Most Likely “Girl Most Likely” is a pretty dull outing for talented actress Kristen Wiig, who’s been trying to step out from her supporting roles as everyman’s wife and girlfriend and hold down a film by herself. Coming off 2011’s “Bridesmaids,” in which she almost lost the film to an overpowering Melissa McCarthy, Wiig took on the lead in this boxoffice flop about a failed New York playwright — dumped by her high-society boyfriend — who has to move back home with her younger brother, her gambling-addicted mother (Annette Bening), and her mom’s oddball new boyfriend (Matt Dillon). It’s a worked to death premise not made any better by lackluster direction, slow pacing, and laughs that are far and few between. Extras: “Making Most Likely” featurette, “Life in the Human Shell” featurette, deleted scenes, gag reel. Vitals: Director: Shari Springer Berman, Robert Pulcini. Stars: Kristen Wiig, Annette Bening, Matt Dillon, Darren Criss, Christopher Fitzgerald, June Diane Raphael, Natasha Lyonne, Bob Balaban. 2013, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 104 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $1.370 million, Lionsgate. 2 stars
