    In a world of all that cheesy self-help nonsense, it's so refreshing to see a film that says "It's OK to be pissed off and to wallow in self pity". The film shows a group of disabled people coming together to learn to live and accept their problems. This doesn't quite fly with on...( read more)e of the members of the group and soon the film descends into the world of dark comedy. It's very funny and very human. The film never asks for sympathy of anyone and it shows how a bit of anger can be very therapeutic. Excellent performances and a short script make this a film that gets it's point across without becoming a sermon.

    Delightfully dark and disturbing, yet hilariously funny film about the nonsense that is self-help literature and the repression of negative emotions. Side-splittingly funny in a very sinister way, full of "Oh no, they didn't!" moments and fueled with acute and thought-provoking m...( read more)oments. Quite the gem.

    I was afraid this would be an easy cliché kind of movie but was happily surprised; given, some parts are borderline cliché but definately made it to my list of favorite movies! Very casual tempo, no fireworks nor orchestra; just regular folks dealing with their handicaps. To watch.

    An entertaining black comedy about how physical and mental handicaps can hit you in your best years and the question: Do I have to be positive about my situation to be able to keep on living as normal as possible?The bottom line of this movie is: No.F*** healthy people. F*** eve...( read more)ryone that thinks he knows better. F*** you and me. The art of this all is, to realise that you were happier before and that you have the right to be damn mad at whatever caused your loss. In this special case, share it in community with some dope, alcohol and Johnny Cash...

    A short but sweet drama comedy. Gloomy and dreary setting and situation but with a healthy dose of black humor.
