Synopsis: In those times of crisis, the suicide business is booming for the Tuvache family and their shop where they sell all the accessories for a succesful death. Their life will change with the arrival of their third child who is ... always happy and smiling!
Review: The concept for this movie is quite funny, and all the possible declinations of suicide are reviewed with an offbeat humour. I also enjoyed all the small details that often appeared in the background for a split second like street names (Death alley...), road signs (Cemetery in the same direction as School) or newspaper headlines. But the story sometimes staggers, and the songs and too long and not very good, neither music nor lyrics. I didn't find the 3D useful, only bringing a little depth barely noticeable.
Rating: 5 /10
