Home Sweet Hell Audience Reviews

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
zardoz-13 This scintillating black comedy about a married couple where the wife rules the house is refreshing hilarity. Katherine Heigl is cast as Mona Champagne, a ball-breaking wife who denies her husband sex unless she has scheduled coitus on her calendar. Patrick Wilson is simply brilliant as Heigl's milquetoast husband Don Champagne who runs a furniture store. He hires a drop-dead gorgeous saleslady, Dusty (Jordana Brewster of "The Fast and the Furious"), with whom he winds up in an extramarital affair until she informs him that she is pregnant. As it turns out, Dusty works as an accomplice to two murderous meth head desperadoes, Murphy (A.J. Buckley of "Zombie Hamlet") and Freeman (Kevin McKidd of "Trainspotting"), and they plan to blackmail Don. In an earlier scene, we saw Murphy and Freeman take advantage of another man who appears to be dead. Anyway, Don's one and only employee before he hired the sexually outgoing Dusty, Les (Jim Belushi of "Red Heat"), decided to give her $13-thousand dollars. Don's paranoia about the consequences of his affair prompts him to throw himself on the mercy of Mona, and she concocts a scheme whereby she is administer a Mickey Finn into Dusty's drink when the latter comes to see Don about the money. Naturally, Don is frightened at the prospect of Dusty dying from Mona's drink. Don is marginally relieved when Dusty revives just long enough for Mona to slug her with a hammer. Afterward, Mona dons a gown and cuts Dusty's corpse up with a wood-working appliance. She luxuriates in the splatter of Dusty's blood as she mutilates her lifeless body. Later, she has Don drive her over to Dusty's trailer where she stuffs Dusty decapitated head in the freezer. While she is shoving Dusty's body parts into the fridge, Freeman and a hooker surprise her while she is in the trailer. Mona displays no qualms about taking a samurai sword away from the witless girl and skewering her with it like a shish kebab. The dim-witted Freeman doesn't recognize Mona for a moment and she stabs him repeatedly with a knife until he crumples into his own pool of blood. Murphy is considerably upset when he comes home to the trailer and finds Freeman and the girl sliced and diced in their own reservoirs of blood. Emerging triumphant from her double-murder, Mona warns their gay neighbors about their frisky little dog that encroaches on the Champagne's home. She threatens to kill the little doggie if it ever ventures back onto their premises. One evening while they are preparing to bed, Mona warns Don that she has two deadly knives in her bedside cabinet that she will wield to carve him up if he displeases her. A shocked Don doesn't know what to do until he finds the poor little doggie in their own freezer, and he comes up with a plan to kill his wife that reminded me of the Michael Caine black comedy "A Shock to the Systerm" where he rigged up a booby trap that will electrocute his wife. Don fixes it so that the lightning fixture in their garage will spark up when she switches it on, and the gas leaking from two propane container will ignite. As Don is walking away from a party at their residence, the entire garage blows up.Director Anthony Burns and scenarists Carlo Allen, Ted Elrick, and Tom Lavagnino have created a flawlessly funny R-rated film that benefits from a light touch. Katherine Heigl is both wicked and clever as the domineering dame who emasculates her husband without a qualm. She treats their son with equal contempt but dotes on her intelligent daughter. Watching Heigl relish the prospect of cutting up a corpse is something that you don't always seen this lightweight comic pull off with her tongue-in-cheek. Burns and company never make a error in plotting the downfall of not only Dusty but also Murphy's accomplices. Everything is done with a wink and "Home Sweet Hell" lives up to its title and is a drastic change of pace for Heigl. If you are a Heigl fan, you don't want to miss "Home Sweet Hell."
adonis98-743-186503 Don Champagne seems to have it all, but when his wife, Mona, learns of his affair with a pretty new salesgirl, she will stop at nothing to maintain their storybook life. The worst thing about Home Sweet Home is easily how some pretty good actors get wasted in awful roles and a bad script actors such as Jim Belushi, Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl as for Jordana Brewster she might be good in Fast & Furious but i haven't seen her in anything good besides that and this film is no exception either. It's a bad excuse of a comedy and a bad excuse of a film it's not funny or even worth your time and your money it's just boring and simply awful (3/10).
phd_travel I actually like Katherine Heigl in this black comedy role as a more demented version of a Stepford Desperate Housewife. She acts well and it's a refreshing difference from romantic comedy. Patrick Wilson is good as her weak silly and quite hilarious unfaithful spouse. Jordanna Brewster is skinny and comically sexy as his mistress who blackmails him.This suburban tale of infidelity and murder is a funny black comedy that has some good moments especially between husband and wife. The kids have a few good scenes too. Worth a watch for the comic talent and a more or less enjoyable tale.
bedtimereviews Don is a man who is used to his boring life, his wife who makes a schedule for everything , even the days they can have sex. When Dusty comes in his life everything changes. She brings life to his every day. And the moment she makes the announcement to him everything he knew is destroyed. He has to chose: Tell Mona about everything and take what the consequences may be or handle it his own way.After a careful thought he decides to do the first and that is when things get serious as I said before.Mona is a woman who has suffered very much in her childhood, she is very organizing and does her best to keep everything and everyone under her control.After Don explains to her the situation she does what she does best. Planning. Only now she plans to kill Dusty. But until the end she hasn't done only that… This film goes mild for the first 20-30 min. The good part starts from the moment Don tells her the truth. From that moment and on we see a whole new Mona. A Mona that loves killing, cutting and everything in between. Even if that is walking with white stilettos in a blood pond. The pros in this film are: Katherine Heigle who plays the nuts role perfectly, the music is not excellent but fits well, and the humorous lines of Mona. I give to this film 5 stars out of 10.
