Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea turn in amazing performances in Stuck – a dark comedy (very, very dark) inspired by a true story. The important thing to note here is that it is inspired by a true story not based on. The car crash that sets the scene for the events that take place actually took place. Everything else is fictionalized. That doesn’t take anything away from the story.

I can understand why Stuck might not appeal to a wider audience. The comedy is extremely dark which combined with the gore and tendency to highlight the absolute worst in people make it a hard movie for the general public to swallow. I, however, am far from the general public and found the movie worked very well.

Quick Review: Stuck is a great, gory comedy with excellent performances  by Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea. I will give you one warning, however – if you’re easily offended or repulsed by feces, you might want to look for another movie.
