Very well executed

Absolutely brilliant

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

"Details" reminds me of the type of movie that was popular in the mid-2000's: every character is just a bit off. Tobey Maguire plays a obstetrician, Jeff, who's addicted to porn; his wife is cheating on him; his neighbor sniffs basil; his female friend gets him high in her husband's vintage car then they proceed to have sex...you get the idea. It's one weird tangent after another. Jeff engenders little sympathy in viewers up through the scene where he tries to buy off the cuckolded husband, Frank (Ray Liotta), who puts in a powerful performance during their confrontation.Maguire's character makes an attempt to change his ways at this point by donating a kidney to his sick buddy, Link (Haysbert). That leads to a second powerful scene(in the church), but not until after the healed buddy kills Jeff's "unreasonable" pregnant neighbor. Sounds complicated, I know.The church scene gets cut off way too quickly, though, IMO (like a sudden fade-out during a killer guitar solo). The movie hurries back to safer ground with the final scenes playing out in domestic "bliss." Jeff and his wife lay their secrets on the table and decide to stay together and not go to the authorities "for the good of the children."It's all so absurd. Wasn't there a police investigation? Surely, Jeff's name would come up in that he was the dead woman's next door neighbor and her obstetrician. Oh well. The movie tries to walk the tightrope between farce and drama. Apart from a couple of scenes with Liotta and Haysbert, it felt much closer to farce.

Hello I just finished watching this movie and I think it is time for a review. Luckely for me it was better then the last Dark Comedy I saw. Which was the Room. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I really like the Dark Comedy genre. And this is not the greatest of all time. But it is a pretty descent film. It got a few laughs along the way. And the acting isn't bad at all. The plot is enjoyable and not boring. It's a good movie to watch when you're in the mood for a light and easy movie. If you like Dark Comedy I would recommend watching it. I really liked it I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Hope this was helpful. Have fun watching don't forget the popcorn and greetings.

"In life when something disastrous happens you go back and replay everything to see where it went wrong." Jeff Lang (Maguire) has just found a family of raccoons ripping up his new sod in his back yard. He decides to place traps to kill them and take back his yard. This one little event leads to adultery, murder, transplants and everything in between. This movie is one of the most interesting, entertaining and fun movies that I have seen in awhile. I would call this a comedy but a definite dark comedy, so if you offend easy I would avoid this. The writing is so clever that the movie keeps you wanting to see what happens next and you are both horrified and smiling about it. I really can't say to much about this movie because I don't want to give anything away but each event triggers something worse. I really enjoyed this and I recommend this sleeper hit. Overall, one of the darkest and funniest comedies that I have seen in a while and a real under the radar movie that deserves to be seen. I give it a B+.

This is a potentially very average film, however, Toby Maguire's voice and face make it almost unbearable. In order to better enjoy this film, I would recommend either blindfolding yourself or plugging your ears before watching it. If you find that you still can't take it, then doing both is also acceptable. I would also argue against this film being classified as a comedy, as I can't really remember laughing at any point. A more appropriate classification would possibly be fantasy, as a man who looks and sounds like Toby Maguire would never be permitted to be in a five metre radius of women as attractive as Elizabeth Banks or Kerry Washington, never mind actually having sex with them. Witchcraft or some sort of sorcery would definitely be required.
