    What an odd and quirky movie I stubbled upon. I really enjoyed this movie for the most part. There was a little bit of the movie where i got lost but it ended strongly I feel.

    The last thing Zia expects after dying is to find himself working in a dead end job (sorry) at Kamikaze Pizza in a world just like the one he left; but just a little bit more crap. His dreary non existence looks to continue for all eternity until he ...(read more) meets failed Russian rock star wannabe Eugene and when Zia learns that his ex girlfriend may be purgatory after doing herself in, the two set out to find her. Along, the way, they pick up hitchhiking Mikal who is looking for The People In Charge. In a world where no one can smile and flowers have no perfume, Zia discovers that being dead doesnt necessarily mean that your life is over. I loved this movie; it is surprisingly warm and upbeat considering its subject. Dont let the (UK) 18 certificate put you off; it is a funny old world when movies featuring human beings being abused in just about any way attract (at most) a 15 cert, whilst sweet, charming little movies about hope, friendship and Doing The Right Thing, get a ridiculously inappropriate rating.

    Truly wonderful. I just saw this movie earlier this morning, around 2:00 for the first time, and I already want to watch it again. As a former suicide risk myself, this is such an insightful look into how life would be on the "other side." Truly a wonderful piece of media.

    Suprisingly good, funny and original. Guy kills himself and awakes in the grey dilapidated world of the suicides, where everything is just like earth but a little worse, after learning of his girlfriend's suicide he sets out on a cross country missio...(read more)n to find her. I didn't like the end(really for petty reasons), but up till that point it was one of most enjoyable things I had seen all year. Tom Waits appears in the film as a major character, and provides some of the soundtrack, too which doenst hurt. Well performed, well thought out, film from an exciting up and coming director. My favorite of all the things I've seen in theaters in the past 6 months.

    purposely, everything in this film looks bleak and broken, including the people. fugit, even though "almost famous" was eight years ago, still has a quiet innocence. his rather dismal indecisiveness in this film was not nearly as charming though, towards the end i found him a little irritating. sossamon on the other hand is so natural and watchable! her loneliness doesn't seem desperate (unlike fugit and whigham?s characters) and neither does her quest to find the "ones in charge." i loved shea whigham (eugene) and his entire russian family, what a great scene! i actually think eugene is my favourite character and he accounted for most of the laughs, though you're not allowed to smile (in this afterlife). tom waits (awesome!) plays kneller, somewhat of a leader of a desert commune, a casual character. will arnett is also in it briefly as 'messiah,' is it just me, or does he play a creep in every role (though he's hilarious as banks on 30 rock)? overall, i do find the characters (whether i liked them or not) affecting and the irony of the entire film somewhat funny. while i'm not totally sold on this movie, i will keep my eyes peeled for future goran dukic films.

    vv this film in no way endorses suicide, i do agree that the summary given on this website may make it appear like that is what the movie does though.
    It's a comedy and a love story, but it in no way insinuates suicide is a good idea in my opinion. Personally i think if anything it discourages you from wanting to commit suicide, i mean if life's so awful you want to end it, what worse after life could their be than life continuing on like normal, just without the good stuff (like family and smiles)

    Oh my god... I haven't seen it... but through the summary, doesn't this seem like the wrong message to be sending out? "Kill yourself, so you can have a jolly good time in the afterlife..."

    Wouldn't that be a disappointment...
