IMDb says the gross worldwide was half a million dollars- I would guess that represents 50,000 somewhat disappointed folk. This is a terrible screenplay. It's varies between predictably dreadful sweating and slightly amusing one liners. How or why any of the talent like David Duchovny. Toni Collette or Anna Faris even gave this a second look is frankly astounding. The ideas are ghastly and the actors must have cringed in the takes.
The rest of the world sometimes looks at American life with distaste and if this comes anywhere near it then their view is correct.
Give this dreadful movie a wide berth. It's awful, rude and unreal.
There are no spoilers here as these actors dance around getting into an inheritance without really asking about the current will and what it contained until it's at risk. And as the movie progressed I just didn't care either.
Duchovny at least seemed to play it for the rubbish it is. For that he's to be commended!

First Keira and Roman shine - they are terrific
Written at the pandemic time, the script sees through the fictitious government official line that everyone should take a pill to kill themselves. The blind and unthinking obedience to authority is humorously explored.
Some of the cast question the bought off doctor's line and the parents especially with their doom scenarios made up from scant propaganda.
As the thunder rumbles on, is the man-predicted apocalypse nearing! With the background of Michael Buble music and then thundering music has the end come or has it been manufactured?
This is a black tragi-comedy. Watch it to see the ending. Will they be fooled or wise up? It sums up the last 4 years worldwide....

I'm not American but have published papers on Quantum Theory experiments. An hour was spent on this and it was fascinating seeing depictions of men I've read of, and who equipment I've used. But the overlong depiction of politics that would mostly be important to American left me cold. I can see why it led to Oscars but not.why it won as many BAFTAS.
There are excellent performances and the actors deserve their awards, but after three hours I guess this movie won't be rewatched by me.
Maybe the years will change minds about this movie. It's certainly a story that will generate emotions. At least several million surviving Americans and Japanese they'll be around to do do, as the American invasion of the Japanese home islands wasn't needed...
