    Meh
    I expected this to be a "parasite-type" movie, where class struggles are portrayed in a dark comedy way. It actually was just a dark comedy, not very determined to make fun of society, just whacky situations. There wasn't much tension, as no character ever semt to be in danger, you always knew that nothing was gonna happen to them. Even if the never is any tension, at least the comedy parts are funny. Right? No. The dad in the movie always had the same things to say, i guess it can be funny at first, but then it becomes tedious. The gay character could be funny, but he didn't get much lines. The mother character was always serious, never acted crazy, so no way she could be funny. The criminal character was supposed to be threatening I guess, so he couldn't be allowed to be too funny.

    In the end, the movie should have been a lot more exaggerated if it wanted to be funny. But the acting was too toned down.
