black comedy

It had everything to be a tremendous movie of humor. More descended into the perverse way of national films. Much, much, much word. Black humor without grace jokes and low level of scenes that referred to the old and decaying former national cinema. A great shame this kind of unnecessary appeal. I asked my time with this movie.

When you think that we are evolving is a film of this and kill everything that fought until the moment. But what anyway. Do not we have the evolution of gift.

A failed attempt and misplaced to imitate the movie "Liar Liar" nothing more, nothing less than the Jean Carle. A disgrace to our so suffered daily. Total loss of time. Strongly discouraged.
