    Are you hoping for a hilarious romp through the most stupid deaths of all time?

    I was too so imagine my dispointment when I saw it and it covered only 3 or 4 death scenes, amusing at best, with a large chunk of the film dedicated to an unneccessary love story.

    This could have been brilliant but instead proved a complete waste of time.
