MUCH better than the IMDB score
I'm glad I gave this a shot. It's well produced and very well acted. The story is bizarre, but inventive and not impossible. Within its bounds, the plotting and writing is very good, with all the action holding together. That alone is an achievement these days.
A black comedy, exactly as advertised - and a pretty good one too.

Dark comedy
It's a dark comedy but it's a bit too dark for me. I started off laughing and loved how quirky it was, but I did get a bit bored I have to admit. I'd definitely say it's worth watching if you like dark comedies, but if you're not into that kind of thing normally then I wouldn't recommend it. It's not something I'd normally watch. It's different though so I can't score it lower than a 6 as I do like the originality of it and the acting is really good.
Good start but...
The movie had a good start, nice setting and is generally well made and has good acting, but the last third was a bit weak...not horroble but no masterpiece either.
If you like Danny McBride, you'll probably like this.
Cast does a good job. If you tend to like Danny McBride, you'll probably like this.
Conclusion, negative reviewers have no sense of humor
The amount of people that hate this movie is just staggering as I thought Arizona deserves a much higher rating. I know there are alot of people with no sense of humor at all and it seems they all watched this movie and felt the urge to review it afterwards. Arizona is a dark comedy, and a good one. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. It simply starts with an accident and escalates quickly into a murdering spree. The cast is great for this movie. All good funny comedians that made me laugh alot in the past. Some have only small parts like Seth Rogen and Kaitlin Olson (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) but even in their short appearance they made me laugh. Danny McBride and Rosemarie DeWitt play the major characters and they did a good job. Danny McBride (from Vice Principals) has just one of those funny faces, he'll make me laugh in a blink. The story is very easy to follow, it's dark and funny, and very entertaining. I honestly can't understand what people don't find entertaining in this movie.
