You have the genre as "Comedy" now. Didn't it say "Thriller" before as the blurb still does? Does the "genre-bending" term at the link....

refer (without specifically saying so) to it being a comedy?

So many questions. Smile

Oh, well, personally the "Comedy" element/word is the main reason I max-bought it just now (along with Lionsgate distributing).  It's a huge change.  As a Thriller the blurb sucked and it had extremely little upside IMO.  With a significant comedy element, and Lionsgate, it has greater potential.

Time to check for reviews and info since it refers to it having played at Sundance...

Here we go, 8 Fresh and 2 Rotten for 80% so far:

They also have Comedy only, not a thriller.  Most of the reviews seem to mention comedy and suggest genre-bending, though one Rotten review calls it a mess presumably in part because of that.

At IMDb:

7.7/10, Comedy | Crime | Thriller as the three Genres they mention in that order.
