Michael V @Popeye529 Aug 23 A bit slow at first. Great acting by Adam. Good twist at the end. See more Barbara P @bperess Aug 16 Good enough, not great. It's a somewhat dark murder mystery and a depressing vision of a sad life (albeit with redemption in the end) and another tragic one, but the rare funny lines certainly don't deem this a comedy. See more William B @Wilberry Aug 10 It was okay. I hoped for more. It was more tragic than comedy honestly. See more John P @juanarto Aug 10 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. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Aug 9 Better than I thought it would be. I liked the twist at the end. See more Sarah N @RT94124993 Aug 9 The movie as a whole was upsetting and misrepresented on Netflix. 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.
