Surprisingly funny
|
| This flick is a strange mix of some slapstick/rediculous humor and very dark and violent events and people. There are several clever lines, some good music, some philosophizing about politics and human nature, a murder mystery, and a cat and mouse game that takes many absurd turns. The "romantic" aspects that are played up in the descriptions and trailer are really negligeable to the whole thing. It's so ambitious as to not be beleived but somehow you can allow them that. The humor is very silly, and the serious or sad aspects really are very pathetic. I'm not sure the term "dark humor" is really aplicable to this; while I think of that as being more of laughing at the rediculousness of an ugly and violent situation, in this movie, it's more like there are 2 planes, humore and drama, that merely co-exist. I couldn't give a logical reason why but it worked for me. It was probably a lot of the one liners and the performances of the entire cast which created very amusing characters. Our hero protagonist is a real loser who you can't help but like in spite of his being slime. I'm very easily swayed by a good laugh and this film was sooo much funnier than expected. I can see how it might not be for everyone. Hope you like it. |
