Home Sweet Hell

I'm surprised by the low rating, I suppose the characters don't meld well with all people?

I find the situations to be uncommon in most dramas or comedies. My only problem, which is what I think ruins it a bit, is how unrealistic or dumb Mona's decisions are. I feel like they could have made her a lot more intelligent overall. The movie kind devolves from the first stupid decisions. So that's why I gave it a 6.

If you like rom coms or dark comedies then you would probably like it.

Really good watch, would watch again and can recommend.

Sometimes, it's important to watch movies with actors of which you're less of a fan. It lowers your expectations and reminds you of their true, objective acting talent.

This is a very interesting watch on the real life symptoms and side effects of sociopathy and/or repressed psychopathy. It's the time of psych thriller that is scary because it could be happening to you in your own home. It doesn't mean you're stupid / not perceptive or they're super smart / devious. It just means that they're (at least) slightly more calculated than you.

There is a slew of metaphors in here from equals in a relationship to the upper class lording over their lessers, but there is a pivotal moment where they could have expressly made it about men vs women, and it (very obviously) did not turn down that road.

Really, if you like pysch thrillers, put this in your queue, I think you'll enjoy it.

This movie is a hidden gem - one that I'll watch over and over again. Why? Because homicidal hot chicks are SO awesome - especially when they keep a tidy home and healthy family, too!

So, what's best about "Home Sweet Hell"? Everything really since I encountered nothing that failed to entertain me. You'll especially enjoy Katherine Heigl as Mona Champagne - the hottest murderous matriarch since "Serial Mom"! Patrick Wilson seems to play himself as Don Champagne - although I'm sure he's much more assertive in real life. Right?

I also liked to see Jim Belushi (Les) since I hadn't watched him in a while. He always leaves an impression, and Jordana Brewster is uber-hot and uber-naked as Dusty - oh, her performance is well done, too ;-)

Watch this movie for effect. Mrs. Champagne would definitely approve of this film's many fine qualities!

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

My friend Bryan recommended that I watch Home Sweet Hell, thinking that I would enjoy it. He was absolutely correct. This movie is a twisted little black comedy about a man who cheats on his frigid, OCD wife with a woman he hires to work in his furniture store...a woman he believes is sincerely sweet and genuinely interested in him as a man. The affair goes sideways and his life spirals out of control when his wife becomes aware of the situation. That is as close as I can get to sharing spoilers, aside from the fact that anyone who saw the trailers for the movie is already aware that the wife informs her unfaithful spouse that the only solution is for him to kill the woman he had been having the affair with...so that part should be no surprise. Patrick Wilson manages to succeed in coming across as the bumbling, panic prone, jackass of a husband without any difficulty, but the true star of this movie is Katherine Heigl. This was a very different role for Katherine Heigl...and she pulls it off exceedingly well. I never really felt one way or another about her as an actress, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by her performance here. This was an entertaining movie, no question about that. I like this sort of movie though, this sort of dark humor is just my kind of thing...though I tend to prefer things that go a little bit more perverse and a bit darker in my comedy, this one manages to satisfy.
