In a movie that goes out of its way to explain Death's reasoning through characters who have rootless epiphanies as the plot necessitates, I find it amazing that nobody questions the convoluted methods Death utilizes in order to go about what, for him, is routine business. Death can, it seems, create these imaginitive and complicated Rube Goldberg chain reactions that result in a demise out of left field, but cannot simply give someone a heart attack, or enlist a goon to shoot them in the face. I must admit, after only catching twenty minutes of the film, I was postulating some very imaginitive manners in which I might slay the filmmakers for the obscene amount of money they no doubt made creating something that would fetch a "c" in a Junior High film and video class.
The movies message seems to be: People shouldn't die. The writers, if they believe in what they wrote, must actually operate under the asinine notion that the world would be a better place if nobody died.
But, I must admit, that rarely have I laughed harder than the scene following the dentists office fiasco. That was gold.
