In this movie, people who kill themselves go to a sort of purgatory, a world that is like ours but more run down. Zia (Patrick Fugit) finds himself in this purgatory after killing himself over his girlfriend. He meets up with Eugene (Shea Whigham) and Mikal (Shannyn Sossamon), who is seeking the People in Charge (PIC) because she was an accidental overdose, not a suicide. Zia hears that his girlfriend killed herself and is now in the same purgatory, so they go look for her only when Zia finds her he begins to realize that he now loves another. Despite the title, this is definitely a comedy, not a tragedy. Admittedly it's a black comedy but funny none the less. Fugit, Whigham and Sossamon generate a good chemistry, while various other odd characters come and go to keep things interesting. The movie's ending closes the door on the suicide purgatory while opening a door for love. All in all, quite satisfying.Read full review

A very quirky tale of an afterlife for suicides. This world is not unlike the real one, just colorless, full of junked cars and no one can smile. Funny with endearing touches.

I was drawn to this movie due to Tom Waits having a role in it, but after the first five minutes, I was hooked. The overall concept is powerful in regards to the fate awaiting those who choose to take their lives intot heir own hands. No moralizing, sermoning or other easy cop-out themes. Their is a strong level of character development and how situations, here or in the great beyond, shape who we become. Thorough enjoyment which I plan to pass on to others through this DVD.
I love this movie. I saw it years ago and have been wanting to get it for some time now.
