Laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath
I don't know why this movie is so overlooked. How can a movie with the college graduate driving home with his car piled high with his belongings while wearing his ridiculous cap and gown, who returns home to his mother who tries to get him to appreciate her former days as a porn star, since she watches them constantly and tells him to grow up when he is repulsed, then wants to teach Latin to the prison inmates, not be funny? I hurt myself laughing so hard. As a bonus, Jeremy Renner! You can't go wrong. Plus plus, Jennifer Goodwin. Far from her usual sweet roles, she's the former crush of our guy, who happens to have dated his brother and is on death row, a few cells down from said brother, who is also waiting to walk the green mile. This gem is only for people who appreciate the absurd and dry humor. I would say this movie is just about perfect with the sarcasm, outlandish premise, exceptional casting, but for one thing: no subtitles. As someone who is hard of hearing, that's a major downside. But it was so hilarious I still gave it five stars and cranked the volume way up. I hope you give it a try and go in knowing to leave all seriousness outside the door. It is so entertaining, in fact, that I'm going to watch it again tomorrow.

A great find
I don't remember this movie when it came out. And I was pleasantly surprised. Although you should watch this movie at least twice to understand what is going on. You very dark movie but highly Recommended.

LOVE!!!
I love this movie!!! I loved the relationship between the two brothers and all the characters had their shining moment. My very favorite moment was when Chick sang American Pie :-) I recommend this film to people who like dark comedies. It was not too dark though...just a little bit. Jeremy Renner is a phenomenal actor-just in case you hadn't figured that out! lol

Cool film!
I bought this movie, because i saw a video Jeremy Renner singing "American Pie", a song that i love very much.But i must say that the film was very cool. A very fun love triangle. Craziest prison!

Love Comes to the Executioner
I thought this movie was okay but if you are a big Jeremy Renner fan than it is worth buying.

Highly underrated dark comedy.
There are so many things I could say about this movie. It's a great early film of a lot of familiar faces, and well done without a huge budget. The characters are all delightfully absurd, and the story while being relatively predictable, is a fun ride. It's a dark comedy along the lines of Eulogy or Sunshine Cleaning, but just a little more over the top (and the film knows it). One of the highlights is the mother who used to be in the adult film business and likes to watch her old movies when she's feeling depressed (she even named one of her sons after a fellow star...).
