Better Late Then Never
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Don Champagne seems to have it all, but when his wife, Mona, learns of his affair with a pretty new salesgirl, she will stop at nothing to maintain their storybook life. The worst thing about Home Sweet Home is easily how some pretty good actors get wasted in awful roles and a bad script actors such as Jim Belushi, Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl as for Jordana Brewster she might be good in Fast & Furious but i haven't seen her in anything good besides that and this film is no exception either. It's a bad excuse of a comedy and a bad excuse of a film it's not funny or even worth your time and your money it's just boring and simply awful (3/10).
I actually like Katherine Heigl in this black comedy role as a more demented version of a Stepford Desperate Housewife. She acts well and it's a refreshing difference from romantic comedy. Patrick Wilson is good as her weak silly and quite hilarious unfaithful spouse. Jordanna Brewster is skinny and comically sexy as his mistress who blackmails him.This suburban tale of infidelity and murder is a funny black comedy that has some good moments especially between husband and wife. The kids have a few good scenes too. Worth a watch for the comic talent and a more or less enjoyable tale.
The latest dark comedy, which has the two inconsistent actors in the lead. Well, I liked their performance, they competed each others to steal the show in their unique characters. I enjoyed watching it in parts, but frankly I am disappointed for this potential theme was misused for ineffectual narration.Looks like inspired by 'Serial Mom'. When a little, strange but a happy family who are living by the storybook of their own was threatened by the dark side of the life, they are ready to jump into the hell to save it. They have ignited it, but the only concern is how to end it all for good.Other than IMDb where it stands average, the movie was slammed very badly by the critics and moviegoers. I have seen even worse than this one. So to me it is an average except the end, otherwise below average. Yes, the conclusion was terrible, seems like they don't want a continuation. I mean they wanted to end it all here itself. It is a watchable, but simply not the best one.6/10
Katherine Heigl takes her knifes again, but this time not for curing a patient - like she did in Grey's anatomy few years ago - but for a totally different reason. This movie is a black comedy with a little bit of a drama, soft (very soft) porn and crime. To be honest I didn't like none of the characters that's why I didn't care about how they end up. Overall Home Sweet Hell is the perfect choice for Katherine's Heigl fans, because her performance as a psycho wife is perfect. As for the deeper meanings of this movie (superficial happiness, infidelity, childhood trauma, repressed desires, etc.) don't expect to find any answer.
