On the Count of Three
It’s a great day to be alive.
Directed by Jerrod Carmichael
Produced by Valparaiso Pictures, Werner Entertainment
A dark comedy about two suicidal men that uses humor and bromance to grapple with depression, trauma, and the question of whether life is worth living.
Val has reached a place where he feels the only way out is to end things. But he considers himself a bit of a failure—his effectiveness lacking—so he figures he could use some help. As luck would have it, Val’s best friend, Kevin, is recovering from a failed suicide attempt, so he seems like the perfect partner for executing this double suicide plan. But before they go, they have some unfinished business to attend to.
