Shut Up and Shoot Me (2005)
Member Rating:  
His wife left flattened by a falling statue as the couple make their way through Eastern Europe on holiday, a grieving British tourist attempts to stage an early reunion with his beloved departed to little avail in director Steen Agro's pitch black comedy. When Colin's (Andy Nyman) wife Maggie (Klára Low) meets an untimely demise under a particularly unstable statue, the pain of his loss is too powerful to bear. After failing to snuff it by taking an electric bath, Colin meets hen-pecked handyman Pavel (Karel Roden) - a pushover whose high-maintenance wife has forced him to accept a series of odd jobs just to keep up with department store payments. Pavel has been assigned the task of driving Colin to the morge so that the visiting Brit can claim his wife's ashes, but Colin quickly offers his wheelman a large sum of money if he will simply end his suffering in the most painless manner possible. Unfortunately death doesn't come as easy for some as it does for others, and as the hapless pair become caught-up in the criminal exploits of hulking hoodlum Karel (Robert Polo) it begins to appear as if the suicidal widower may be death proof. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Don't waste your time. Nothing like Fargo! Boring, tedious, weak plot.

It was watchable, dragged on in parts. I would not recommend renting it from the store but via blockbusteronline it was a good find.

We were quite impressed with this movie. It was cute and funny and messed up all at once. Everyone did a great job. Worth watching for sure.

Yes, there is snow and murders but this movie should never have been compared to Fargo. Saying that, this is still a funny flick-I found myself laughing out loud and enjoyed the acting as well. Definately give this a try!

I think because it was a black comedy and the body count unexpectedly started to add up with the way in which they tried to dispose of each new victim to be the reason for the comparison (Fargo).Non the less it was entertaining from the 1st unexpected demise,some times a little silly but that was intended to be part of the humor.The end has an ironical twist another good reason for this movie.

This movie is compared to Fargo. I don't think it was as good, but it was quite awhile ago when I viewed Fargo. The movie held my interest and the situations were pretty good. It is worthwhile watching but as a second choice.

Not nearly as good as Fargo as the movie suggested. Not worth the money unless you have a free rental.

Wow, one of the worst movies ever made! How a story like this is produced in the first place is an enigma to me. This is supposed to be a comedy, it was NOT funny! The story line was probably written by a 6 year old. The acting was crappy, the visuals were dull (generously speaking). There was no good message, or symbolism. All-in-all, this was a waste of my [and your] time! Could I be more clear?
