The Vicious Kind is a 2009 American comedy-drama film written, directed, and co-produced by Lee Toland Krieger. It stars Adam Scott, Brittany Snow, Alex Frost, and J. K. Simmons. It follows a misanthropic man who tries to warn his brother away from the new girlfriend he brings home during Thanksgiving, but ends up becoming infatuated with her in the process.

The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 2009, and was given a limited theatrical release in Los Angeles, California on December 11, 2009, by 72nd Street Productions.[1] It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast (particularly Scott) and dialogue. At the 25th Independent Spirit Awards, it earned two nominations: Best Male Lead (for Scott) and Best Screenplay (for Krieger).
