Cringey comedy with some funny moments

Imagine if Lifetime tried to make a comedic thriller... This is what that movie would be. Low budget, the writing seems a little off, nothing is quite natural... but for some reason, you sort of like it?Let's start with the good. Some of this is funny. Like, laugh out loud funny. It seems to waver between over the top, ridiculous satire and legitimate humor thriller. It works a lot better when it sticks to the former. The funny moments are when the movie doesn't take itself seriously.Now, the bad- everything else. It's objectively not good. It would've been better if it just committed to being a parody. Personally I wouldn't waste your time with it, but there are some fun moments.

A must-watch if you love darkly funny films

The combination of satirical dialogue, romance and murder make this a really entertaining film about the horrors of the 1% with a twist you won't see coming.For as thrilling as this premise is--a son and stepmom plot to kill their rich father/husband-I found myself laughing throughout this campy, fun film that is unapologetically queer. The over-the-top characters from the gay son with daddy issues to the seemingly stupid trophy wife turned calculated murderess turn basic stereotypes on their head in a way that felt really refreshing. I also thought the film's social commentary on victim narratives is ahead of its time. The tone reminded me of a lot of Jennifer's Body. When I heard "We're white and we're rich, we can kill one guy," it reminded me of the iconic line, "You're killing people! No, I'm killing boys!" There's not a lot of movies with this specific kind of dark humor so I really appreciated that.Also worth mentioning how great the cast was! Chris Baker was phenomenal, Eliza Coupe was hilarious, and the Lala Kent cameo was superb!
