Certainly not a perfect film by any means and often tacky and mean-spirited, this film has some very funny moments that are hard not to laugh at in spite of the details surrounding the humor. It also rounds a hidden body found by Robin Williams Oh, an Alaskan travel agent who uses the corpse to try to scam an insurance agency out of a million dollars by claiming that is his brother, Woody Harrelson. Little does he know that someone is already searching for the corpse, and not only does he have the insurance company owner after him but a crazy criminal as well.
While not a big fan of Holly Hunter's, I must say I guess she steals the film as Williams life who has Tourette's Syndrome. The way that she deals with the intruder criminal who holds her hostage is very funny, filled with some of the greatest one-liners I've seen in a modern comedy. Williams has an accent that goes in and out so that is rather disturbing, considering his comic genius, and Harrelson's character is just another one of his long line of Looney Tunes. The Alaskan snowy photography is of course gorgeous, and I must say that as a modern black comedy, I rated higher because I considered it a bit of guilty pleasure.
