Contemplating suicide is no joke as this picture proves.

Disillusioned with life, a young man returns home to kill himself, but first to tell off the people who made his life miserable.

There is the unsympathetic 7th grade math teacher, who despite his father's death that year, made life miserable for him. Now, years later, she is in a nursing home and he discovers why she was so miserable to him, as well as meeting her granddaughter.

Then there was the class bully who has become an endearing person, a widower with a down-syndrome child.

His immediate family best describes dysfunctional. His widowed mother living with a female Elvis impersonator, a fling with the one girl in school who showed him kindness, a police officer brother with a dirty mouth whose son is a homosexual with relations with a young black man. It just goes on and on.

This is a film that best suggests that life is worth living at all costs. The only way to confront his situation is to deal with it when another family member contemplates doing away with himself as well.
