There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

With no disrespect to the filmmakers - this was crap. I own a DVD rental store and I review all the movies I buy online - my staff then review them as they come in. This is the classic example of trusting your gut!! I read quite a few good reviews in IMDb, noticed that there was an unnatural amount of 10/10 votes (700!!) and all in all something smelt very fishy about this movie - despite this i bought multiple copies. What a flop....all of us agreed - awful. To me it can be defined as a low budget attempt at British style farcical humor - a la 'death at a funeral' and fails badly as expected. Unfortunately one of our local distributors picked it up and marketed it as a smash hit....only thing redeeming it from a 1 vote is it appears to be a v small budget flick, written, directed and acted by the same person...something akin to a 2nd year film school project I'd say.To the back of the shelf where it belongs...

I thought this movie was fantastic. I loved the silly, physical humour mixed with the dry macabre humour. I couldn't stop laughing through the whole movie. I especially enjoyed watching the acting talents of Mars the very talented dog. He was always right on the mark and showed a wide diversity of incredible talents throughout the movie. I think everyone should watch this movie. It's one of the best I've seen!!Good job to all the cast (including the adorable doggies) and crew for making such a fantastic and enjoyable movie!

I saw the trailer for this movie, and thought it looked funny, but when i watched it i never knew it was going to be probably one of the funniest movies i had ever seen. David Hewlett's acting is superb, and so spot on, i thought all his facial expressions, and antics, well just everything was what made the movie so funny. Paul McGillion and Kate Hewlett just added the comedy that David's screaming couldn't fill up. There were the big eccentric moments the David had, like when he tried to electrocute Ryan, and plugged in the CD player instead, and was screaming and running around. But there was also the little moments where he did something subtle, but i laughed my head off. All in all a great movie i give a nine out of ten, it would probably be 10 out of 10 but i didn't really get the ending, well i got the ending but it could've been funnier, or maybe not, i don't know, all i know is, if you haven't seen it you must, because it is hilarious, and a really enjoyable movie.

I actually rented this movie expecting to be disappointed.We laughed almost the entire way through the film, and it was so strange and hilarious that I intend to purchase it at my first opportunity. You might need to possess that certain type of twisted sense of humor to enjoy it. But if you do, you'll enjoy it immensely.Every single member of the cast turns in a fantastic performance. Even characters who are seen for mere seconds become memorable. David and Kate Hewlett are obviously siblings, but they actually capture that antagonistic sibling relationship very well.These are the type of independent films I wish were being made. It is smart, funny, and well shot.
