Val has reached a place where he feels the only way out is to end things. But he considers himself a bit of a failure so he figures he could use some help. As luck would have it, Val's best friend, Kevin, is recovering from a failed suicide attempt, so he seems like the perfect partner for executing this double suicide plan. But before they go, they have some unfinished business to attend to.

I just watched this. I'm pretty speechless right now; I probably need some time to think before writing a real comment here. Suffice it to say, one of the best movies I've ever seen.

The performances of Abbott and Carmichael were so natural, believable, and engaging. The movie takes the homo-erotic buddy comedy thing and brings it on many twists and dark turns to end up in a bunch of novel and taboo places. The humor is perfectly placed. The plot is not predictable and feels genuine and meaningful without manipulating the viewer for shock value.

I am not really a movie person and don't love a lot of movies, but I really loved this. I hope more people watch and comment here!

Just to note, I found this movie a lot darker than the trailer makes it out to be and watching it was somewhat emotional and difficult. Absolutely worth it, but just be aware this is not a "light" movie.
