Why was this movie so funny?


I loved this movie and I was surprised at how funny it was from start to finish. I expected some gallows humor, suitable to a neo-noir movie, but this was hysterical at times: the cat, Marty Augustine, the security, the blackface, the New Age neighbors - this movie was such a good time!

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
