(2002)

One of the funniest comedies...ever. This is one of those films that Ward suggested but I was leary. Every time we watch it, and we've seen it several times, I laugh out loud. This time we watched it with my dad and grandmother and even they were laughing out loud.





The story is funny, the characters are funny, the scenes are funny. Some of these actors can do serious dramas very well and to see them in a comedic element and pulling it off so well is a nice switch. Sometimes you get a movie that is labeled comedy and it is over the top ridiculous in the hopes of getting a laugh or two but this movie has a perfectly balanced mix of both subtle and not so subtle humor.





If you are in the mood for a comedy this is a good bet.

Watching this movie the other night, I thought to myself: "Self, this might be the funniest movie ever." You see, I don't generally like comedies, at least newer stuff, because it's always the same old thing over and over. But not Drowning Mona, this movie is golden. If you don't laugh outloud watching this movie then there is probably something serious wrong with you (perhaps you broke your funny bone as a kid and it healed back crooked or something).



I guess you could call it dark humor, it is about someone dying after all. But if you like comedy of any kind, I think that you will like this one, a lot. As a matter of fact, if you don't like it I would recommend you seeing a specialist about that funny bone thing.
