A stand-up comedian confesses to a murder on-stage at an open mic night to a shocked audience - his crime the result of a deadly triangle formed between his older sister, just released from prison after a 20-year stay for the murder of their parents, the loving bond he now shares with a caring surrogate family, and the ultimate choice he must make between them - his dysfunctional blood ties with his own sister, or his picturesque view of the ideal family.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
joelweinmaster I don't know what's going on with people these days... Was everyone stoned that gave this movie a high score? That movie got a 6.7 on IMDB.... It's like if people film these movies in a certain way they immediately think it's good.. Why aren't people thinking anymore?Like if you make scenes overly dramatics for the sake of drama, that makes the acting good and intense? Even if it's totally unnecessary and doesn't make sense to the plot? They didn't do any character development and then all of a sudden every seen with two characters talking they put the ominous music in almost to tell the user that they should feel empathy for the character blindly... My parents and I were laughing at the overuse of the same dramatic music used over and over in every scene. The only time that piece of music made sense was at the end of the movie.*SPOILERS HEREIN* And who in their 30s or late 20s takes someone to a highs chool and BREAKS IN? for a date? Great idea. Also the female lead was WAY too hot to be believable that buddy wouldn't be into her and pass up hanging out with her..That movie was comically bad... for so many reasons... I give it a 4 as I still wanted to see what happened even though the director was on vacation during the filming of this.
patriotparksmanagement Madtown is a captivating drama that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It won't disappoint and it is definitely a must see!
markgallup This movie has a very powerful story and themes. It goes deep into the human mind and finds how relationships work. The characters are likable and interesting with more to them than what appears on the surface. It is paced very well and is very impressive. The only issues I have is the score is severely lacking in identity and doesn't feel organic and the ending, while has some very powerful moments, leaves some plot lines unfinished. I would recommend this to nearly anyone, the story (even if you can't find it too relatable) has a lot of things to say about love, family, and your past.
brettklein-49735 Terrible acting, terrible Cohen brothers rip off with an early Luc Besson spice. Don't waste your time... unless candid rip off's are your fetish.
