Given the way writer/director Jeff Baena died, his dark comedy about the aftermath of a suicide plays differently then it would have 9 years ago. Four months after his fiancee hangs herself with one of his belts, the friends of Joshy (Thomas Middleditch) decide to convert the cabin get away that was supposed to have been his batchelor party into an opertunity to cheer him up; to mixed results. Mixed results applies to the film as well, though for the most part it does a pretty good job of navigating between comic and tragic tones. This is a tragi-comedy if ever their was one, wry humor and enough hart to earn this ***
