Very well written
Exactly what you would expect from Ricky Gervais
In parts is quite sinister (0 more)
After life offers good comedy value whilst at the same time taking on sensitive matters

At points is quite dark and touching unlike some other projects but Ricky Gervais

"To me it’s the greatest comedy ever made, and I just love the fact that it’s a comedy but it’s just such a dark one. Apart from the visual treatment of the film…I guess it was the first Kubrick film that I ever saw, and it really had an impact on me as a result of that — because I hadn’t really seen a film that looked like that, that had it’s own unique style."

Makes up for The Dark World
Contains spoilers, click to show
Thor number 1, great film. Thor The dark world, not everyones cup of tea (i liked it), Thor Ragnarok, this has everything the others missed and more.
Comedy, action, fight scenes, soundtrack, Cameos it had it all. Its highly recommended even if most of the film he is without Mjölnir( not a spoiler if you watch the trailers) Plus some of the fight scences are behond epic. Still not the best Marvel based film but up there thats for sure mainly because it had Loki, Dr Strange and the fire demon Surtur.

A dark crime, comedy caper that is driven by the characters. Quite odd a lot of the time with scenes and dialogue that don't add up to much. The fact it's based on a true story shows how bad things can go when you try to get a little bit of money.

I'm not sure how every other movie is going to compete against this when it comes to Golden Globe/Oscar time, because this movie was really good. All of the actors did a good job, and it was an interesting story. It did have some comedy, albeit dark, but it was a heavy movie overall.

McConaughey's cop who moonlights as a killer in this adaptation of a stage play is totally on fire, it's dark and violently twisted but also outrageously funny, all players are on top form in this black comedy and you will look at fried chicken in a new light towards the end of the movie.

Fun send up of film noir in pulp literature and los angeles culture in a frozen celluloid time capsule
Set in a decade where the comedy and homages work in todays modern popular culture. This unlikely pair lead the story in an unconventional take on the buddy cop/comedy as they work in opposition to each other to solve a dark crime, with a seedy leadup, all the while surrounded by the city of hollywood and its movie star culture. Something out of the pages of a detective fiction magazine. Post modern film noir in a brighter reflection of itself

Decent comedy
Well this sounded like a female version of @Very Bad Things (1998) at first. Although the plot is similar it's no where near as dark in the humour element as that. It's pretty much what you expect but the cast helps raise it just above average with some genuinely very funny moments.

Watched today another movie on Disney plus that I hadn’t ever seen till now is it any good yes it’s rather good dark comedy about kidnapping that goes wrong and the husband who’s glad she’s gone. Casting wise Danny Devito is perfectly cast as the husband as u watch his delight at the thought he might not see that bitch again and then there’s Bette middler as the wife who gives the kidnappers trouble no end overall good afternoons comedy
