IMBD has listed this as a Comedy but in that sense fails completely. It cant be a Black Comedy cause its not clever enough. Then only works as a drama. IMO if you see it only as that it works.

I think the first half of the movie was strong but it got a little lost and disorganized in the last half. Still, I like these types of comedies and I liked all the actors.

It's not a traditional comedy where people get hit in the head with ladders or a stand-up comedian delivers one-liners for 90 minutes. It's a dry comedy where the humor is more in the absurdity of the situations and the reactions of the actors.

And so it does work as a comedy.
