Great idea, not-so-good transfer


The idea of a bunch of people to start a suicide center to help depressed people by using zany methods sounds like comedy gold. However, when it turns more and more into another sighable romantic comedy instead and the ACTUAL story seems forgotten, I found myself dissapointed at the end, wondering "What was the point? Why did these people get together?" I don't get it. Excellent idea, but awful execution with surprisingly few jokes and ANNOYINGLY many bits about things just being "explained". The first thirty minutes or so worked, maybe even the middle, but the longer the movie went on, the more I just wanted it to freaking end. 5/10.

Sounds like you were hoping for something more straight forward and plot driven. I liked how it meandered along flitting from idea to idea.

Ahem! A Suicide PREVENTION Center!
