When Killing Your Spouse Becomes Comedy: The Uneven Promise of Over Your Dead Body

Jorma Taccone's dark comedy thriller about a married couple plotting murder has strong moments but struggles with uneven tone and violence played for laughs.

The Daily Perspective

No.1 sister is visiting so I'm taking the opportunity to rewatch Good People (Les Gens Bien) on SBS. It ticks a few boxes for me:

· cross border thriller
· comedy thriller
· mood-setting theme song
· Dominique Pinon (minor role)

Darkly funny!

Finished watching the show Boat Story last night. Crikey!

I'm always up for a good comedy-thriller, and this did not disappoint. But note well, it's got a lot of bloody violence in it, and most other content warning triggers too.

But bloody funny! And full of surprises. Some excellent caricatures of characters. A touch of the bizarre, and the macabre. Rollicking good fun!
