I just have to stand up for this movie, in light of some bad reviews I'm seeing on here.
There were at least three points in this film when I laughed till I cried. Believe me, that doesn't happen often. (The first time involved the talent of tap dancing.)
It can be tricky in black comedy to maintain a tone that doesn't try too hard, but the director managed this feat admirably. The actors also largely maintained just the right balance, especially Kate Micucci, whose presence and sometimes subtle changes in expression were spot on. The pace of the storytelling and the editing were quite good. Fantastic commitment to absurdism by all; I can't wait to see more from the writers.
