Not a perfect movie and one of the worst timed movies in history, . . . . But a lot more fun than I expected.
It's a fine-line between ham-fisted and black humor and this one walked it. The jokes were mostly funny if you remembered to laugh. But if you forget to laugh, it's easy to get caught in 'hey!wait!! not fair!!' then you take a breath and chuckle. The unfairness of the jokes was part of the joke, which will probably only make sense when you've experienced it firsthand. And it was sporadically inventive enough, with both the commentary and the gore, to keep things bopping along without getting too mired down.
If you find yourself in a mood to dissect things and find meaning, it's probably not the right time for you to watch it, because you can drive yourself a bit mental taking it the least bit serious. But if you're in the mood for dark humor, it delivers surprisingly effectively, . . . at least for the 90-minute runtime.
