This looks kinda interesting in a darkly funny way.
Reminds me of falling down.

If you're that interested because of him, you should know he's been making movies for a few years as writer and director.

Shakes the Clown and World's Greatest Dad are two such movies you'd want to check out as well.

I actually enjoyed shakes. This movie looks to be very guilty fun, just not sure how far the premise will hold.

Yeah.... I just have a hard time doing dark comedies.  Especially this sort that treats murder comically.  Just disturbs me more than anything and makes me feel uncomfortable watching (which is how I felt with that trailer).

I really liked World's Greatest Dad from Goldthwait, along with his other stuff.  This looks good, and right up my alley too.

Worlds greatest dad was hard to watch, good movie, but man.... wow. Rough.

I love the actors in this film!

You know, I'm normally the first guy to take a big crap on anything where people are whining about how a film might cause people to behave badly, but I'm not real sure that a movie that's about killing every annoying person in our society is altogether prudent at this highly-armed moment in our history. But it might be a mistake also to leap to conclusions from the trailer.

I had that same reaction. Too close to the mark to be all that funny. I guess I am just grumpy.

I'd like this better if it actually happened in real life and this was a documentary about it.

Pretty sure those responsible for this have nothing but contempt for the public that will love it.

I saw it and was disappointed.

I actually thought the trailer looked amusing, but the trailer was better than the movie. I just flat didn't care for the main characters. I mean, maybe you're not supposed to, but to have any emotional investment in a movie, there has to be some sort of emotional attachment to SOMEONE, but I didn't get that at all.

It's on Netflix streaming so I just finished watching it.  I didn't realize it was Bobcat Goldthwait was the writer and director. I thought it was a decent movie.
