  You won't die laughing, but you might suffer a few near misses
  
  If you like your humour dark, you will find quite a lot to satisfy your bad taste. Whilst it is not funny all the way through and it is, at times a little ... read more »

  dull and boring
  
  I found this movie lacking in humour and very dull to watch. It seemed to drag and go on for too long (well it felt like it did)

  Could have been better
