Meh.

I like a good dark comedy, in fact 'VERY BAD THINGS (1998)' and 'HEATHERS (1988)' are some of my favorite movies.

Other dark comedy favorites include 'THE BIG WHITE (2005)', 'JUST BURIED (2007)' and 'THE LAST SUPPER (1995)', heck I even enjoyed Patrick Wilson's previous dark comedy 'LET'S KILL WARD'S WIFE (2014)'.

But THIS 'HOME SWEET HELL (2015)' simply isn't very good... In fact it's pretty poor.

Starts out reasonable enough but once things start getting 'dark' it simply lacks bite and just pile on with clichés.

There's really not a whole lot more to say about it, I guess it's cool that Katherine Heigl plays a different role than usual but she really got nothing on Cameron Diaz when it comes to playing the crazy wife role.

Nice to see A.J. Buckley in a movie though, too bad it wasn't a particularly good one.

I like Patrick Wilson but he can't save this, and Don Champagne has got to be one of the worst character-names in recent years.
