7/10
An interesting Serial Killer Deep Dive

I've heard so much about this movie recently as it leaves Amazon Prime Video so I decided to watch. Here are a few thoughts I have in a numbered list.

1. Comedy? No, unless you find documentaries about Albert Fish, Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy funny. This is constantly being listed as a Comedy first. It ABSOLUTELY is not a comedy. I enjoy most humor even if it's not PC but calling this a comedy should be legally actionable.

2. Someone (I can't remember who, unfortunately) stated that if you liked Donnie Darko, you will like this. This person has no clue and should not be on the internet. It became clear to me as I watched that whomever stated that did not watch Donnie Darko and simply read the plot layouts of both movies.

3. Most synopses of this movie, besides getting the comedy part completely wrong, also state that both pets are evil. Anyone who states this should never be taken seriously as Bosco is obviously not evil.

4. The acting is incredible. Personally, I feel that Ryan Reynolds' acting in Deadpool is perfect. His acting here is only a step below the Deadpool role but far beyond anything he's ever done. The cast as a whole made this movie really good for me.

Overall, This was a solid 7 based on my viewing. I found very little in this movie funny and the animals were pretty stereotypical if your only a dog person (even though puppy was a good boy). I wasn't disappointed by the movie just irritated the gullible who don't understand what a comedy is or that cats are not as evil as they may think. Watch and judge for yourself.
