    A really funny movie. Loved the ending. Can't stop giggling.

    A moderately amusing and fairly brisk dark comedy.

    Cleverly shot, technically sound, but way too silly.

    Most of the plot, dialogue and jokes are predictable and broadcast way in advance. My last watch/review was also a dark comedy, Just Buried, and this one reminds me what an average flick is and makes me appreciate that one a...( read more)ll the more.

    I guess a good analogy is, there isn't enough "bang for the buck." There isn't enough return for all the liberties and steps they took with the storyline. They'd have been better off going a bit more extreme if nothing was going to come as a surprise.

    I'm surprised by the high ratings this movie is getting here and elsewhere. Is there a fanboy appeal in one of the characters from some other show/movie? I just don't get it.

    This isn't a BAD movie, but most of it's success comes from the creative filming and the story leaves a lot to be desired.

    This dark comedy is unique and I loved it. A brother's relationship with his sister starts warped and gets far more interesting as it goes.
    You will love the ending!

    Quite an unusual comedy with a very weird lead character. Still there were lots of amusing scenes with a twist ending that made this film even more fun.

    NOT BAD JUST FOUND A LITTLE ON THE SLOW SIDE.

    I think that I will be safe if I skip this one.

    This is a hilarious movie! A very lovely and fun dark comedy. Low-budget but enjoyable, and any fan of the Stargate TV show will appreciate the cast all the more.
