This movie by far one of my top five worst movies ever. What were they thinking. . I had to check to see it was a comedy more than once. Oh my. Terrible movie. Not funny at all.
Black humor ****** best. Pain, simplified. An great movie that heralds back to the days when artists used the medium at hand, in this case film, to send a message. One of grief, acceptance, and the ge... neral chaos of human existence. Watch it from start to finish. Cast aside what you accept as \"Horrible\", \"Disgusting language and content\" and take with you that life is not simple, nor easy to rationalize, it is merely what you want it to be. Best film I\'ve seen in years. Come to the darkside we have cookies. ^_^ Full Review
Horrible film! Disgusting language and content. The language belongs only in porn films. ********** wants to see a 15 year old masterbating/axphiciating himself? Hanging dead in a closet? This is... a film that should not have been made. Full Review
This film is much darker than any film that Williams has done in the past. His son dies while Masterbating to his teacher/fathers girlfriends pic....Bobcat is a genius...and rather than accept the fac... t that his son was a below avarage person in general he constructs this tortured genius profile around the boy. Other than being funny this movie pack a powerful message we could all learn from. When you masterbate with a belt around your neck, better to have a partner than not. But seriously this is a once in a lifetime movie for all involved. Not very often you can be shocked, appaled, confused, and laugh all in the span of one movie...loved it! Full Review
Wow! This film is possibly my favorite of all time. It's dark, it's rude, it's shocking, it's offensive, it's hilarious! way to go Bobcat
