Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

kosmasp Just for the fact that Ms Heigl is playing a different kind of role (not just the cute girlfriend and not just one thing either), this made me give this an extra rating or voting point. You could also give it a 5/10 easily of course. And while it is fun at times to watch, there are a lot of flaws to be found here.The depths that open up after a bad decision during work times (a continuous bad decision? ;o) ), which in itself looked like a dream sequence, but wasn't meant to be that way or maybe I was just overwhelmed like our main character was too, the movie kicks into a different kind of gear. Whether you like where this is going and how explicit it gets with its violence is up to you. And while there is sex, there is not much nudity (if any, one scene might be revealing, but I wasn't too bothered to rewind and actually check if you could see something or not) ... does this sound enticing to you?

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a furniture salesman who seems to have the perfect suburban life. He has an affair with an employee, and his life and his wife goes awfully wrong.I thought "Home Sweet Hell" was a romantic comedy, but it turns out it's actually a new hybrid of romantic comedy slasher! Katherine Heigl plays an obsessional turns psychopathic wife, breaking her run as the new queen of romantic comedy. She looks so different from her other films, she conveys the stone cold and ruthless attitude required for the role. Patrick Wilson is great as a helpless husband. The whole film is quite funny, despite some gruesome scenes not typically in a romantic comedy. Overall, I enjoyed watching "Home Sweet Hell".

westsideschl Wasn't prepared for this twist on the happy, white, middle class, family storyline. I was leaning towards another redundant rom-com (Hollywood not N.Y. style) and should have paid attention to the knife on the DVD cover. It seems, and there's a bit of assuming in this, that 9 out 10 one star ratings come from females and/or families with little ones surprised (upset even) that this film turned out to be a bloody dark comedy. Perhaps hitting too close to home that one of there own should have such a nasty disposition. Leaving aside personal taste I was surprised at how well written, acted and twisty this turned out. Not having any personal connection with an urban/suburban white middle class lifestyle I did not feel violated or offended. We have a super competitive, scrapbook, goal setting obsessive-compulsive mom with an acquiescent former used car, now furniture salesman (2nd & 3rd most ridiculed professions, behind lawyers) dad with two polar opposite kids (reflecting their parents, of course). Final thought, for the squeamish mentioned way above you can sleep better knowing that, no, the kids did survive (those were screams for another).

LeonLouisRicci able Dark Comedy that might have been a Bit Darker and Bit Funnier. Although the Good Acting and Energetic Directing make for some Moments of Demented Anti-Suburban Pleasure.Katherine Heigl and Patrick Wilson are a "Happily" Married Couple. An OCD Domineering Doll and a Buttoned Down Weak-Kneed Furniture Salesman with a couple of Kids that Mimic Their Parents by Gender.It's a Perverse Picture that Glories in its Playfulness. The First Half Set-Up is a rather Tame Affair developing the needed Personalities and the Second Half Explodes Into some Gut-Wrenching Violence and Twists of Turns.Overall, the Talent of the Cast and a Bright Saturated Color Palette add to the Mayhem with the Story's Bizarre Take on the American Dream.A Martha Stewart Nightmare of Suppressed Psychopathy with an Anti-Nuclear Family stance that will make some say..."Yea, you bet." and others Scram for the Exits. Not for All Tastes but Those that are Attracted to Movies with Bad Taste...Enjoy.
