Review of Sitcom

Sitcom (1998)
4/10
Inane and incomprehensible
6 August 2021
First of all, if you're expecting ANYTHING like a sitcom, even as a parody, here, forget it. The closest the film comes is in the use of a few stock characters. But the snappy crisp rhythm which can be used as well for satire as straight that marks a sitcom is pretty much absent here. What humor there is is based on pretty easy shots at uptight families, over the top sexual behavior, racial encounters. Much of it is plain confused. Whatever "comic" situations are set up become repetitive. At best this might be regarded as a slightly surreal thriller with a strange premise at its heart. But most of the characters end up as plain unlikable and the narrative flow pretty much gives up midway through. Be warned.
