Brilliant Dark Comedy - Til the break of dawn!
Comparing this film to Bad Santa does not make much sense, but I will say this: If you thought Bad Santa was funny and it did not offend you much, then you will probably like this movie. It is totally different, but I suspect if you were offended by Bad Santa this movie would offend you as well.The movie has perhaps the best performance of Nicholas Cage's career. He is so over the top and frankly just hilarious. I could not quit laughing after some scenes. When the camera moves off-topic a bit and has its little sideshows it was also hilarious.Someone else said the story in this movie does not really matter, and I believe that is true. Cage's various scenes are so good they could each stand on their own.I'm the type of person who can laugh at anything funny, no matter how dark, if you are not like that this it is not for you. Some people can't disassociate themselves from the movie. I have no trouble with that. It's just a movie so it is ok to laugh at any of it if you find it funny.
