I'm not generally a big fan of tasteless comedies, but this one grabbed me and I completely enjoyed it. Yes, there's serious forshadowing all over the place. Yes, it makes fun of handicapped people, grasping mothers, brain-dead daughters and "family values." But the thing that makes this comedy work so well is how far it twists. Allison Janney gleefully steals every scene she's in.
Unlike a Farralley Brothers movie, there's only a brief moment of "gross-out comedy."
