Her Alibi
A writer of BAD detective novels is in full writers' block. He pretends to be the alibi of a beautiful woman who was arrested for murder at first thinking her innocent, but as she shows more and more interesting abilities (such as knife throwing) he begins to doubt his first assessment.
Critics Sentiment
Nina demonstrates her skill with throwing knives killing an insect
Phil poses as a Roman Catholic priest to meet Nina
The film drops significantly when Phil poses as a priest, which critics found particularly unbelievable, then recovers during Nina's physical comedy demonstrations.
Critics found Her Alibi to be a disappointment that wasted the appealing pairing of Tom Selleck and Paulina Porizkova on a fundamentally flawed premise. While Selleck's earnest performance and some physical comedy moments earned modest praise, reviewers consistently criticized the implausible plot, Porizkova's limited acting ability, and the film's inability to decide whether it was a comedy or thriller. The consensus was that it needed funnier writing and stronger direction to succeed.
