Believe it or not, that cover doesn't begin to convey just how awful that movie is. Franco and Sienna get married, she gets killed and then miraculously comes back to life. The catch is that her body continues to decompose as the movie goes on, and Franco has to spraypaint her body and gives her that gag-alicious pink wig to hide the fact. Yeah, it sounds like the makings of a brilliant dark comedy, but the film treats it with the totally non-ironic seriousness of a Nicholas Sparks romance.

Yes, but that actually was a black comedy. You guys will have to PM me after you see it.

Uh, Mods, against all odds we need a Camille dedicated thread

This is why we can't have nice things.

I liked this movie better when it was Return of the Living Dead III.

I just wanted a few laughs, but not like this, not like this

As the impromptu author of this thread I felt compelled to actually watch this and... what the hell did I just watch. Spoilers, I guess?

Spoiler

Moments of ridiculousness include: A red wigged Sienna Miller crying in front of a mirror and spouting "I think I'm dead!" David Carradine as the owner of painted horses, one of which is dying for some reason (maybe it's because you painted them?); Scott Glenn saying "I believe in the law of love" after offering Franco a gun while he flees police

In other words, Feego was dead-on. See at your own risk.

Wow, this really spun out of control, and I never meant to spin this off into a new thread. I was just pointing out that the terrible cover art was not hiding some undiscovered gem (quite the opposite). But yeah, this is not a so-bad-it's-hilarious movie. It's two hours you'll never get back.

But what if you get them back forever???
