The mournful comedyTo Dusthas a sicko premise, but scrupulously sicko.
He wants to know how shes dismantling in the earth and if her soul is in pain.
(Thanks, Shawn.)
But Shmuel still isnt satisfied.
He wants the real megillah.
And thenTo Dustbecomes even more cringe-inducing.
It could not have been an easy pitch.
(Snyder co-wrote the film with Jason Begue.)
Shmuels trancelike idiocy is broad for my taste (was he an idiotbeforehis wife died?
Higher matters and good low comedy.
Every time Broderick said Shmell I laughed but then, I laughed at almost everything Broderick said.
Hes a master clown, too.
Someone cares about something and Albert who cares about nothing comes to care about Shmuel.
They make a bizarrely excellent tag team.
Theres another reason that the mixture of monkeyshines and gruesomeness inTo Dustmight arouse queasiness, even anger.
