What About Dick? (2012)
Hilarious!
If you like Monty Python type comedy you will love this incredibly funny movie of an old time radio broadcast.

Very Dark and Disturbing Look into Human Nature
After spending precious time watching this dark and dreary movie, hoping for the best, the ending was worse than the horrible town where it took place. An almost entire village of small minded, class controlled, sheepish people. Dark in content as well as visually; if you are looking for a story that investigates the depth of the despicable nature of humanity then this is the movie for you. I am sorry I wasted my time on this depressing wallow into man's inhumanity to his fellow man. Having said that I cannot fault the acting, a wonderful cast who did an outstanding job of showing the cruelty that humans can sink to. I realize inhumanity exists but I prefer to dwell on goodness. If one can choose to be happy or sad, to dwell in beauty or ugliness; light or darkness, why would they choose darkness? The world is sad enough without having to immerse ones self in the muck.

Beautifully Done Most Depressing Movie Ever
Aesthetically beautiful but saying the stories are dark and depressing is an understatement. I'm stubborn so I forced myself to watch the entire movie and in my opinion, for me only, I'm sorry I did. I generally love Coen Bros stories/movies, but I feel like they are messing with us; like the Emperor 's New Clothes. How far can they push the line before viewers call them on it? Nothing good ever happens; after the first two stories the viewer knows to expect the worst to happen, and it does. If you like depressing, weird and ugly human nature this is the movie for you. As for me, I'm sorry I wasted my time on this one. Gave it four stars because the cast is good, the acting is compelling and the cinematography is beautiful but even having said that, overall it was a major downer.
