PUSHING THE LIMIT ON HUMOUR AND LOVING IT

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 1999)

I loved this movie. The humour shocked me but was not distasteful and I enjoyed the unique style of these brothers' direction. In most American comedies, the act of humour is forced down your throat when the director fails to make laughs; whereas in this movie, the humour is build up as predictable then "wham" it shocks you with the imagery and unexpected scenes. The fine directing and perfectly cast actors allow the humour to be acceptable and indeed hilarious. This movie is exceptionally funny perhaps we are actually laughing at our own deeds in our "funny" lives thereby allowing ourselves to accept our faults and laughing about it.
