I'm actually at a loss of why it was labeled a comedy when the only comedic parts were probably a whole 2 minutes out of the 50 minute stretch. After it was done I was thinking to myself "I got all excited for this crap?" lol I thought it was stupid to call his wife a stupid bitch. Oh, and another gripe. Why cut to black at some sections and display "BIRTHDAY" at nearly every scene cut? yeah, we get the idea.
The whole point of a movie is for the title to be shown once. Not every time a scene ends and a new one begins. So yeah, was disappointed. They certainly weren't academy award winning actors but weren't all that bad. It was just a lot of empty space with them waiting around and cussing at each other. Pretty damn dumb.
Well, keep in mind this was a tv movie, so I imagine the "Birthday" screens occurred before and after commercial breaks. Also, this movie is based on a stage play that only takes place in his hospital room and yes, the actors in the play also stood and sat around talking to each other.
