This is a blacker than black comedy, with some truly side-splitting moments (in a weird way) Go to Full Review

08/09/2022 I found this way funnier than a normal person probably should have. Some plot points were predictable but it was overall fun and enjoyable for me. See more 06/28/2018 Cheesy and low budget it may be, but this movie is packed with charm and (very) dark humor. Despite it not being exceptionally hilarious or groundbreaking in any way, it is definitely entertaining. Also, Matthew Gray Gubler is brilliant (as always). See more 05/30/2014 A really unique and entertaining movie. Also quite educational. See more 05/10/2014 Clarke kills it. The dialog is fantastic. It was dark humor at it's best. However it kind of drags a bit and as much as I loved the self-help literature/motivational speaker schtick at first the novelty wears out a bit. Well worth the watch See more 04/22/2014 A unique concept with some of the worst execution you will see in a film. It's most notable flaw being its dreadful sound design. Yes, you will stop watching simply to remove yourself from the pitiful score. See more 03/21/2014 I don't think it would be nearly as funny to me if I didn't watch Criminal Minds.
