I was really looking forward to this movie, along with presumably everyone else in a packed theatre at a late night showing on opening weekend, who had probably read the reviews and swallowed the hype like me.

Firstly let me say that this was very dark humour that delivered genuine laugh out aloud moments at the sheer absurdity of some of the lines. Frances McDormand was excellent as the crazed, grief stricken mother. Woody Harrelson was very good and Peter Dinklage made the most of his couple of scenes.

But really the plotlines were very silly and smashed any semblance of credibility, and in the end that just becomes a distraction. Too many silly coincidences.

Overall this is an ok movie and it did have funny moments.
