*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The subject matter is not supposed to be funny. But the film is. Laugh out loud hilarious.
Man sneaks into his girlfriend's flat to 'surprise' her; there is an apparent suicide and two people suffer death by burning. The irony is, they were only trying to be nice.
The first half of the film is a sort of comedy of errors such as we have seen before, but halfway through we are jolted out of this comfort zone. It is as if one day out of the blue you got a phone call that someone died.
This is a film that relieves you of your conscience and allows you to laugh at callousness and misfortune.
