200 years is long enough I think but this film looks really awful. Really trite and banal. If it was a clever and witty and ambitious black comedy - that made you think and maybe ended ambiguously - about Burke and Hare I wouldn't care, but the fact that it seems to go for cheap lazy laughs and aimed at the worst and most stupid sector of the public makes it distasteful. It's that wacky, pseudo-irreverent, but actually really safe, by the numbers, test-screened feel that's totally cynical and transparent by now. Makes me curious to see it to see if I'm right but really afraid to do that in case I am as it would not be worth it.
