This turned out to be a great movie. The premise is simple and done in a fun way, but in a way that also manages to tug at the heart strings. At the bottom of this comedy is a surprisingly sophisticated story about loss, grief, redemption, loneliness, family, and finding meaning in life after a traumatic situation.
The performances were great and the chemistry between the male and female leads was great too. The supporting actors were also awesome. The comedic situations were hilarious and I found myself laughing out loud several times. I went into this movie thinking the plot sounded silly; I just figured it was a good way to pass some time during the day. In the end it turned out to be one of my favourite movies of the last year. I laughed a lot but also was touched by the way it turned out to be a thoughtful meditation on many of the difficult parts of being human and mortal. Don't be fooled by the silly title and description, this is actually a really good movie with lots of laughs but also lots of drama and beauty at its core.
