Apparently this is Hitch's favorite of his own movies although it wouldn't be mine. He probably likes it because it's not only different from everything else he did, but also a pretty unique movie in general. It's like a more accessible Luis Bunuel absurdist comedy movie. It revolves around a bunch of people all stumbling upon a corpse and generally reacting to it in wacky ways. It's got that feel of a stage play in that characters mostly stand around in one or two locations bantering with all these other characters wandering in and out.
I had some pretty good laughs at the whole thing and enjoyed my viewing experience, but like I said, it definately wouldn't be up in my top Hitch movies. I haven't seen all his films, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd probably go with VERTIGO. Stewart gets so creepy in that one.
