Editorial Review:
Popular New York film critic, Terry Thorpe (William H. Macy), finds himself in messy predicament when he accidentally kills his lover during a spat. He immediately covers up his involvement and leaves the apartment without knowing that a private investigator (James Cromwell) has been spying on the woman for her ex-husband. Realizing his opportunity, the investigator launches a plan to blackmail Thorpe. Meanwhile the police enter the picture and detective (Adam Arkin) targets Thorpe as the chief suspect while also trying to advance his own dreams of becoming a screenwriter. Thorpe's regular girlfriend (Felicity Huffman) becomes suspicious of all the strange activity as Thorpe tries desperately to cover up his own foul play and ward off all the bribing schemers trying to profit from his misfortune.
A Slight Case of Murder Reviews:
A slight case of murder 
2009-03-19 - William H. Macy is wonderful in this comedic look at murder and trying to cover it up. A classic!
A Jewel
2008-09-30 - This movie was made for TV. It is better than 98% of the regular releases that are shown in theaters. Neat plot, great acting. There are few movies I can watch more that once and I have watched this several times. William H. Macy is great and his comedic timing is wonderful in this movie.
Great Fun Movie!
2008-09-23 - I'm surprised how few "5-Star" ratings this movie has. It's terrific. Sort of a dark humor murder mystery. It's extremely funny in parts, and full of surprises. William H. Macy steals the show, frequently making asides to us - the audience - about his next idea, and how this isn't going as he'd planned, etc.
Terrific film. If nothing else, rent this on NetFlix or something. You won't be disappointed.
'Slight Case of Murder' sets the scene for major enjoyment 
2008-08-29 - Loved this darkly humorous take of a self-involved critic who gets caught up in murder and all of its resulting mayhem.
ok
2007-10-25 - its an okay movie bill macy and felicty huffman was really good as far as the acting goes but the movie was kinda just boring itself..
