This movie is listed as a comedy, and therefore it is supposed to make us laugh. To be sure, we do occasionally laugh ;yet there is a disturbing flavor of sadness and bitterness both in the plot and in the characters.To begin with, those two houses, at the end of a suburban road, close to a swamp and a high voltage power transmission tower are exceedingly depressing. One learns from the plot that there is not even a decent restaurant at any short driving distance. And , as far as other people around, besides the five major characters, simply forget about them !!! I strongly suspect that acting in this movie may have played a not insignificant role in John Belushi " almost" suicide, shortly after.
