Editorial Reviews

While I can't speak very well about this DVD, I can say that this movie had me laughing to tears.\r\nIt tells the story of a comedy duo who become extremely popular, not to mention rich. They work very much like every famous comedy duo, with a clown and a straight man, like Abbot and Costello. You would think this would make them happy, but seeing as how most of their comedy comes from the straight man slapping, punching, or otherwise hurting the clown, the hate begins to grow.\r\n\r\nDarkly funny, this film is perfect for anyone who likes dark humor.

This review is from: Dying of Laughter (DVD)

I purchased it, because the director did Commonwealth and Dance with the devil and it was very cheap. To me this movie had no laughing moments; I had a couple of smiles though. It is better to take this as just entertainment not expecting any gut-busting sequences or funniness in general. The music video on the disc was more entertaining and lively than the whole movie itself. The girlfriend/arrest sequence is a plot hole in a way because it never explores if the fat guy really liked her. How funny is a fat balding guy getting slapped with a reaction of no emotion? This statement is the base of the fantasy comedy duo in this movie.
