Good-bye Cruel World

Good-bye Cruel World

The funniest film you'll ever survive...

1982 · 100 min · ★ 3.3 · Comedy

The story involves newscaster Rodney Pointsetter who is so depressed between his job and his family that he tries to make a film about his life, which he intends to culminate with his own suicide. It is often interrupted with irrelevant comic sketches that an emcee claims that the audience prefers to see.

Directed by David Irving · Written by Nicholas Niciphor
