quirky colorful and fun
Yes, this murder mystery is twisted and dark, but also wonderful to watch. All the characters (with the possible exception of the father) are so intriguing and bizarre...and they tend to break out into song at the drop of a hat. What a nasty family, but one can't help being sucked into their vicious yet humorous little spats and heated debates. They put the fun in the word dysfunctional, without a doubt. Beyond the wonderful characters is the beautiful scenery. True that it is primarily shot indoors, but the colors are stunningly vivid and bright. Maybe it is in contrast to the darkness of the plot, I don't know, but it is certainly a feast for the eyes. The story itself is pretty good, and not difficult to follow, but the interactions between these outstanding characters are absolutely priceless and make this movie one you should not miss.
