Wristcutters: A Love Story |
Life is a trip, but the afterlife is one hell of a ride. Zia, distraught over breaking up with his girlfriend, decides to end it all. Unfortunately, he discovers that there is no real ending, only a run-down afterlife that is strikingly similar to his old one, just a bit worse. Discovering that his ex-girlfriend has also "offed" herself, he sets out on a road trip, with his Russian rocker friend, to find her. Their journey takes them through an absurd purgatory where they discover that being dead doesn't mean you have to stop livin'!

It's good but it's not right

Just saying what I see! A good idea with great use of imagination. Pacing towards the end lets it down, not laugh out loud funny, not particularly moving either! Just a good idea, that's all it is I'm afraid. Sticks in the middle for most of the film. Patrick Fugit's (Almost Famous) performance was strong though, and it's a wonder why he hasn't been in anything else recently, but then, he's not Shia La BingBong!
Suicide can be funny...but so what? The world probably could've done without this film but from a saving grace of an odd black hole, and some strange, (dead) funny characters. Worth a watch, but not a buy! Needed a tighter script, a more solid ending, it was a bit of a cop out, you'll know why when you see it!
Wristcutters: A Disappointing Story.

Although not quite as funny as the trailer portrays, Wristcutters: A Love Story is a film for fans of films such as the butterly effect & eagal vs. shark, where although the storyline doesn't give off a wow factor, the way in which the film is made is very well thought out. Some parts of this film made me laugh a little but it was quite predictable. Over all it was a good film & although the ending was very vague, it has made me want to read the book on which the film is based on, Knellers Happy Campers.
