It is called black comedy and it is very very funny, stick to adam sandler movies

I feel like I have a good sense of humor but I saw very little comedy in this movie.

I got to the part where Allison visits Jerry and I had to quit.

The only thing I found funny was the dog's reaction to people knocking on the door.

"INTRUDER! INTRUDER!"

reply

You have to watch the ending!

It is sublimely funny, give it another shot.

reply

What the heck is funny about the ending? -- unless you mean the ending credits. That's the only time I kind of laughed.

reply

I think she did in fact mean the credits. BTW you oughta look at Jesus's eyes/face when he and Reynolds are both dancing/singing facing the camera (I think most people look at Ryan in that shot, I did the first time I watched). Jesus is friggin smokin with sensual sexuality, his face, it didn't look that way in profile at all, but head on, holy *beep* he redefines "sexy jesus"!

reply

What the hell, the ending wasn't funny it was supremely depressing. I assume you're talking about when he hallucinates everyone he's killed with Jesus and they sing a happy song, right? No, it was a very good scene, but I do not see any humor in it. Just mental illness.

All great and precious things are lonely.

I laughed out loud when he was cutting up her body and the dog & cat were watching him just like it was just any normal meat that they hoped to get a taste of.

"It is called black comedy and it is very very funny, stick to adam sandler movies"

Agreed. I definitely felt it was darkly humorous in the places it was supposed to be. I guess some people just don't get or appreciate this type of humor or genre.

reply

Tucker and Dale vs Evil is a horror/comedy.

This was not a horror comedy.

reply

Sad that you're right, but too many are so fond of themselves of being true connoisseurs of what "funny" in a real dark comedy really means and that everyone who's not laughing didn't get the plentiful of dark but "so funny" jokes.

reply

It's called black/dark comedy.

He was literally talking to heads in his refrigerator - you don't find that somewhat comical?

reply

No. It's disturbing. 

I would have classified it as being less a dark comedy than a quirky psychological thriller. It was lighter in tone compared to the usual serial killer movie but didn't really have a comedic feel as such.

reply

This movie is in the top 5 funniest movies I've seen in 3-5 years. Maybe longer... I laughed the whole way through. When the moose burst through the windscreen and then he "accidentally" killed the woman. Holy *beep* I lost the plot laughing.

As the merciless sadist I am I had a really fun time watching this. Reminded me a lot of my own situation actually. The female heads I've got stuffed in my fridge aren't as jolly and talkative as this though. Whoops, probably said a little too much there haha!

Someone with a sense of humour?

Someone who read the synopsis?

Someone who isn't dead inside?

Where is everybody?

reply

I would. I gave it a 9/10. One of the funniest films I've seen in ages. Of course, I've alwas had a thing for BLACK comedy. The darker the better, and this really is a black comedy. It's brilliant.

....and just like that *** he's gone.

reply

Just watched this movie..Great movie and somehow I find it in the same line as The Beaver for example..I would never claasify these type of movies as comedy nor black comedy..For me this is definitely a psychological thriller. Talking about mental illness..not funny at all..but a very good movie.

People who are desensitized to misogyny because we live in a sexist culture filled with toxicity.
I bet they think it's hilarious.

The same people who think Trump is funny.

reply

People who live in a culture full of feminists know that the only thing funnier than feminism is dead feminists ...
