Some people just don't get it...

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2000)

American Psycho isn't for everyone. But it's a comedy in horror film's clothing. And while I didn't entirely get the satire, as I was just a kid when all this raging consumerism was going on, I can tell you this...the movie itself is a laugh riot... ...provided you can appreciate relatively black comedy and have a sense for the truly absurd. I think it's safe to say that this movie was designed to be funny. Some of the scenes are so awkward you know it was intentional. This movie basks in genre-referential humor and a taste for truly absurd comedy. So while my friend and I were rolling in the aisles, I noticed a few people in the theatre just didn't get it.
Go to see this movie without expecting anything in particular from it. Go to see it to be entertained. Loosen up a bit. It's not supposed to be chilling, or frightening, or horrifying, or thrilling. It's supposed to be funny. I just think the distributors screwed up how they were supposed to bill it.
