William B @Wilberry 3d It was okay. I hoped for more. It was more tragic than comedy honestly. See more John P @juanarto 4d As movie critic Mark Kermode says: "For me it the funny bits weren't funny enough the tragic bits weren't tragic enough and the tragic comedy never sat as easily together as it should have done." I somehow managed to watch all the way through to the totally obvious and hackneyed ending without clawing my eyes out in boredom, even watching it at 1.5x speed. We've seen this storyline a thousand times before but you know with actual action and intrigue. Watching paint dry is about as interesting as this yawner of a movie. Zero stars.

While I found the plot and execution compelling, based on the previews, categorization as a comedy, and being recommended based on my profile, I was expecting something hilarious and lighthearted (eg Psych). I kept waiting for the story to turn around until I realized who the murderer was and why, at which point, I had sunk an hour of my time into this plot and wanted to see it through. While the movie is very good, the disappointment and dysphoria caused by the misrepresentation on Netflix created resentment. That was not how I wanted to spend my night. I do have to say the casting was done very well. It would be better classified as a drama-tragedy. It was not very funny, even on the spectrum of dark comedy, despite the rare comedic moment. See more Lucas A @LucasAshby 5d I loved this movie. So many layers to this from just incredible writing. One of those scripts that should’ve gotten much more attention because of the rug pulls, dark comedic elements, and depth of the characters. Adam Brody brings a great performance to this. The ending is exceptional. I’m glad to have found this one on Netflix. See more Stacey C @RT90213541 5d This movie is highly disturbing. There is nothing funny about it. The story line is painfully slow, not fun to watch or with an ounce of humor or basic good sense. The actors did as a good a job as they could with a creepy plotline, slow burn and a very disturbing visual. I wish I never watched this awful film. A complete waste of time.
