I don't understand why this film has so low ratings! It's black comedy is great

If this review was just about Mr. Whiskers, I'd give it a 10. Sadly, it isn't.I love Ryan Reynolds, so when I came across this, I thought: "Yeay! A Deadpool-like movie." Trust me; it is not. I also LOVE "dark" humor, sarcasm, double-entendre, dry wit ... (you get the picture), so after watching this, I had to really ask myself why it was that I found it so horrifying. All I could come up with is that maybe I wasn't expecting, going in, how dark a dark-comedy this really is. Even towards the end, I kept thinking there was a twist coming that would make it not quite so dark. As such, to me, it was an assault on what I deem to be my not-so-thin-skinned sensibilities. I may be the only one, but I hated it.

'The Voices (2015)' is a black comedy of the darkest proportions, walking on a razor-sharp tightrope where even the slightest breeze could mean the difference between total silliness and utter seriousness in a way which makes the opposite elements stick out like sore, misshapen and misjudged thumbs. Thankfully, the piece manages to pull its contrasting elements together remarkably well without pulling any punches or picking the wrong moments to place an ill-informed gag, aside from the finale dance number which comes out of left field and feels much sillier in tone than anything preceding it. It's an odd flick to get on board with, though, and surely won't be for everyone. 7/10

I'm a fan of Reynolds' but all his roles feel like this one to me and I just won't be surprised when the news finally breaks. Voices has a little FX, the very attractive Anna Kendrick AND they didn't butcher the funny. This show is not for everybody. It's labeled first as a comedy but that's misleading, it's not all that funny. It has some chuckles but it falls short of being truly funny. This is worth seeing but not more often than every 5 - 10 years.
