But if Paul Rudd can鈥檛 quite make Ant-Man work, what makes anyone think he can gallop in this field?

In 鈥淒eath of a Unicorn,鈥� a new entry in the frightening-but-funny category, he鈥檚 a lawyer who takes his daughter (Jenna Ortega) to a billionaire鈥檚 鈥渓odge鈥� to get him to sign some papers. Apparently, the pharmaceutical baron Odell Leopold (Richard E. Grant) is at death鈥檚 door and wants to make sure business will continue after he鈥檚 gone.

Along the way, however, the visitors strike an animal, discover it鈥檚 a unicorn and put it in their trunk. Quickly, they realize its horn has magical powers and can cure Leopold of his cancer. Instead of rejoicing at the turn of events, he and his family (deadbeat son Shepard and wife Belinda) are more interested in harnessing the power for money, not good. When angry unicorns come knocking, the Leopolds see it as a harvest opportunity and, soon, the guns come out.

What they don鈥檛 realize is the unicorns are just trying to recover their young relative. The hunters, then, become the hunted and plenty of nonsense transpires.

While writer/director Alex Scharfman tries to point out the narrowmindedness of the one percent, he doesn鈥檛 quite dig in enough to truly skewer them.

Will Poulter, as the shorts-wearing, liquor-swilling son comes close (he seems as clueless as members of another recognizable family), but it鈥檚 Tea Leoni as Belinda who finds the right way to jab. She has this clueless way of positioning the situation that reminds plenty of the predicament America is now in. She plays empathetic even though she knows she鈥檚 not.

Grant sees dollar signs instead of potential.

And then there鈥檚 Rudd and Ortega. They鈥檙e like tourists, dropping in on a world that鈥檚 hardly a theme park.

The unicorns get feisty, too, but their attacks simply up the body count, not the victims鈥� consciences.

Mildly amusing, 鈥淒eath of a Unicorn鈥� doesn鈥檛 have the kind of special effects that could really sell this as an analogy.

Rudd tries. Ortega doesn鈥檛. Only Anthony Carrigan as the butler manages to serve what Scharfman is selling. Considering Rudd prides himself on lampooning folks from all walks of life, that's unfortunate.

Had this done well, we could have anticipated "Children of the Unicorn."聽
