    Low budget and poor acting. No redeeming qualities. Wouldn’t recommend. Agree with previous comments.

    Worst movie I have ever seen - not just dark, evil - not too many funny scenes, mostly just sick!

    I saw this on Monday at an early promotional screening set up by the film company, and it is hilarious. I understand all of the positive reviews that have been coming in for this film. It is definitely a dark comedy and I recommend seeing this in a theatre with friends and fellow theatre goers as it will be an even better experience than waiting to watch at home. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say that men and women laughed in equal measure at the absurd notions in this movie. The deadpan delivery of some of these lines is classic. No idea how they didn't break out laughing often (maybe they did!) while filming. If you are tired of reboots and sequels and want something fresh and unique - and funny as hell - go and see this film and help it spread to additional theatres across Canada.

    Excellent movie, very entertaining. Up front humor with just enough of a dark side to make it different. highly recommend.
