Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Remove your wanna be critic shoes for a minute and enjoy this movie for what it is; just a goofy fluff of a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should any of us. Just like in an action movie where the star gets punched kicked shot at, and makes a car do things that are just impossible, suspend belief for 90 minutes and allow yourself to be entertained. Then feel free to go watch Citizen Kane when you're ready for a grandiose cinematic masterpiece.

'Home Sweet Hell' is the epitome of a film that will never be watched by the mainstream. In fact, I'm surprised in these days of the dollar, this film ever got made in the first place. That's not because it's bad, it's just because it's so 'non mainstream' that I'm surprised anyone ever thought it would make a profit. However, I'm glad it was made regardless of how much it earned when it (no doubt!) went straight to DVD (or Netflix - wherever!).The reason I feel that it would never be considered 'mainstream' is that the central characters are fundamentally unlikable. We're introduced to a professional couple (Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl) - he is a weak-willed, spineless excuse of a man who is desperate to have an affair with anything in a skirt. She is a controlling, cold-hearted harpy of a woman. And, as I mentioned, when he finally gets 'lucky' enough to have an affair with an attractive employee, you know it's never going to end well. Let's just say that what follows is a twisted tale of blackmail, murder and double-crossing.Now, those are traits you may expect from the film's villains (of which there are also the 'traditional' type who come in the form of a pair of meth-heads). However, the fact that those we're supposed to root for, i.e. Wilson and Heigl, also display those - ahem - 'admirable little traits, mean these are hardly your regular 'heroes.' Some may claim that they could be called 'anti-heroes,' however they do little to earn this label, as they're hardly fighting the forces of darkness for the good of mankind, merely to save their own skins (and reputations!). I know Wilson comes across as slightly more sympathetic, as he really does find himself victimised by everyone and you can sort of see why he had an affair when you catch a glimpse of his homelife. James Belushi is a nice guy in the story, but he's just an additional character who we never really get to know.Now, please don't think I'm coming across as 'harsh' on this film - I actually quite liked it! In these days of selfless heroes (many of which in costumes swinging through cities and fighting hordes of alien bad-guys!) I quite enjoyed watching a pair of real nasty people being pitted against those equally distasteful - it made a pleasant change not to care who wins, only enjoying seeing as many people fail as possible. Yes, they say that you need to 'relate' to characters in order to understand their plight and therefore invest in their journey. I'm pleased to say I don't really relate to any of them and I still enjoyed the - darkly disturbing and sometimes comic- ride. If you're in the mood for something distinctly UNheroic and dark, then this one should kill an hour and a half of your time.

I like a good dark comedy, in fact 'VERY BAD THINGS (1998)' and 'HEATHERS (1988)' are some of my favorite movies.Other dark comedy favorites include 'THE BIG WHITE (2005)', 'JUST BURIED (2007)' and 'THE LAST SUPPER (1995)', heck I even enjoyed Patrick Wilson's previous dark comedy 'LET'S KILL WARD'S WIFE (2014)'.But THIS 'HOME SWEET HELL (2015)' simply isn't very good... In fact it's pretty poor.Starts out reasonable enough but once things start getting 'dark' it simply lacks bite and just pile on with clichés.There's really not a whole lot more to say about it, I guess it's cool that Katherine Heigl plays a different role than usual but she really got nothing on Cameron Diaz when it comes to playing the crazy wife role.Nice to see A.J. Buckley in a movie though, too bad it wasn't a particularly good one.I like Patrick Wilson but he can't save this, and Don Champagne has got to be one of the worst character-names in recent years.

Passable Dark Comedy that might have been a Bit Darker and Bit Funnier. Although the Good Acting and Energetic Directing make for some Moments of Demented Anti-Suburban Pleasure.Katherine Heigl and Patrick Wilson are a "Happily" Married Couple. An OCD Domineering Doll and a Buttoned Down Weak-Kneed Furniture Salesman with a couple of Kids that Mimic Their Parents by Gender.It's a Perverse Picture that Glories in its Playfulness. The First Half Set-Up is a rather Tame Affair developing the needed Personalities and the Second Half Explodes Into some Gut-Wrenching Violence and Twists of Turns.Overall, the Talent of the Cast and a Bright Saturated Color Palette add to the Mayhem with the Story's Bizarre Take on the American Dream.A Martha Stewart Nightmare of Suppressed Psychopathy with an Anti-Nuclear Family stance that will make some say..."Yea, you bet." and others Scram for the Exits. Not for All Tastes but Those that are Attracted to Movies with Bad Taste...Enjoy.
