Watch It's A Disaster instead (way better)


Save yourself some time and check out It's A Disaster. Much better movie. Not trying to hate or anything I went in with an open mind. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1995341/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I took your advice and watched it. Pretty good. It's a black comedy which I like. Plus, David Cross from Mr. Show with Bob and David. Much better than "Goodbye to 90 minutes of your life".

You are right.

The spoiler is A HAPPY ENDING!

Watch It's A Disaster instead (way better)


But only slightly. I didn't like either films (saw "Disaster" first months ago). Both are pretty lame but this movie is a lot lamer because of the political stereotypes and the pure unadulterated wussiness of the characters.

Don't try to cash in love, that check will always bounce.

Other than the setting I don't see any real comparison. I would agree that It's A Disaster is better, but not by much. It's A Disaster is a black comedy whereas Goodbye World is a drama. Alas Goodbye world felt like a feature length soap opera and brought nothing new to table.

Yet, It's a Disaster was much better at depicting how the stress of such an incident (terrorist attack that causes panic) could exacerbate personal problems. I constantly felt like the interpersonal dilemmas in Goodbye World just seemed petty and minuscule in the grand scheme of things, while It's a Disaster had a much better feeling of embedding them.

Definitely

Seems like the writer of Goodbye World watched It's A Disaster and was 'inspired' to make a dramatic version

But somewhere along the line he didnt know if he was making a comedy with flat jokes or a drama evolving a bunch of whiners who all seemed to end up with the wrong spouse

Or both

Either way I like It's A Disaster. Fun movie to watch and rewatch

This one, not so much
