One of my favourite films from last year but don't be fooled by the "Wickedly Funny" tag lines; this film was a complete shocker as I was expecting to go in to laugh my ass off, the trailer held a number of funny scenes but this is funny with a huge side of tragic.

Just be warned, don't get caught in the trap I did where you're caught without a tissue and not a happy tissue because Theron stars in the film... bad tissues for sad times!!! You'll chuckle into them at the height of the drama but just prepare yourself... It's a great film... but it needs a disclaimer!
