Bad choices

Weirdsville (2007)

Today we have a Canadian black comedy about some drug users on a crime spree and the scrapes they get themselves into. You may not have been aware of this but apparently when people get high their decision making process is impaired and this is funny for third parties. Unfortunately there does not seem to have been much more thought put into making this movie than just putting in a bunch of stuff that is supposed to be funny.

For a film that runs with a relatively short run time (1 hour 30 minutes) it is surprising that it drags so often and in so many places. There are some funny moments a long the way but not enough to make up for the fairly weak and lumbering plot. The relationship between the three main characters is not developed that well and the addition of a female character seems to have been an after thought as she is especially under developed. In the end this film just not funny enough to warrant watching for the humour alone and is too weak in all other areas to make up for that.

2/5
