Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town

The story of the Devil coming to a small own in Ontario to seek his revenge on a guy who is literally too fat to get out of his own house is full of comic ideas that never quite gel into an hilarious whole because instead of being in a single movie, it’s divided into an eight-part series. There are moments of brilliance to be sure, particularly in the way the Kids come up with insane characters to play just about every part in the movie, but the brief episodes always seem to end before their energy can really get you laughing.
