Home Sweet Hell 2015


Home Sweet Hell     Don Champagne seems to have it all but in reality everything has been subsidized by his wife’s parents.  He works that their furniture store, they helped them buy their house and everything has to be perfect for them when they visit.  Don’s wife Mona is very controlling and she keeps a scrapbook of goals that they review periodically.  They have a storybook life on the surface but everything starts to unravel.  Mona learns Don has been having an affair with the new saleswoman Dusty.  Don is glad Mona doesn’t want a divorce but he’s very surprised the steps Mona will take to preserve her goals and her life!!
     I didn’t know this was a new film until after watching.  It was released video on demand February 3, 2015, in theaters March 13, 2015 and on DVD April 7, 2015. This short path in time explains everything about it without much more added!!  Tightly strung and not very good is a good summation.  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

98 min, Comedy directed by Anthony Burns with Katherine Heigl, Patrick Wilson, Madison Wolfe, Aiden Flowers, James Belushi, Jordana Brewster, Heath Freeman, A.J. Buckley, Kevin McKidd, Artie Baxter, Johnny Hawkes.

Note:  Imdb 5.4 out of 10, 5* critic 25% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 1*.
