'Seriously Funny' (SPOILERS)

On my DVD copy of The Good Girl, one of the quotes it has on the box is 'Seriously Funny' by Empire Magazine.

Just wondering exactly what bits were funny? Was it Justine and Phil's unhappy marriage? Justine cheating on Phil? Gwen dying? Holden killing himself? Bubba blackmailing Justine into sleeping with him? The security guard being beaten up?

I've seen funnier films!

I did laugh at some scenes, mostly at the store. Zooey dechannel's bits were funny and some of Holden's dialogue was funny but I would call the movie a comedy. In fact is downright tragic.

You are right! In Spain the film was also sold as a comedy!

Cheryl and Bubba are funny.

This is a comedy. It's a drama but told with very dark humor. It's a 'black comedy'
