For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Expected more

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Cammie is pleased to find an engagement ring when going through her boyfriend Todd's things before a special trip. He gets delayed by his boss putting in a last minute requirement that ruins his Friday. They leave late for their trip.Todd and Cammie get to the cottage that his parents own. They think they will be alone, but Todd's brother Salinger shows up with Masha. Cammie insists that Todd gets Salinger to leave. While Cammie and Masha are out collecting mushrooms, Salinger will not be convinced with words. So he and Todd get into a fight that ends with Todd killing Salinger.Cammie and Todd have a rather earnest discussion. She's 34 and does not want to wait for Todd to get out of jail or wait to find another man suitable to father her children. So she convinces him to kill Masha, which does not go too smoothly.Todd forgets to tell Cammie about Salinger's plans to invite some people over. When Cammie and Todd get back from his formal proposal to Cammie on the island that she insisted on, the 'some people' have arrived, and turns out to be a full scale party.Some of the party goers are very interested in where Salinger is.-----Scores-----Cinematography: 10/10 Really good in both daylight and in dark scenes. Beautiful scenery.Sound: 8/10 OK.Acting: 3/10 Malin Akerman and Tyler Labine I did not believe for a second. Lucy Punch was just irritating. Dan Petronijevic I could have done without, completely.Screenplay: 3/10 Was this supposed to be funny? Fail. Was this supposed to be a a reasonable crime procedural? Not even close. Was it an action film? Well, no. There is perhaps one fight in the film. The plus 3 is for the well deserved ending.

This is so funny - I think I laughed so hard I couldn't even hear what's next.Don't let the bad reviews fool you. You've really got to have a sense of humor to appreciate the multiple layers of parodies on a bad relationship. The many things our other 'destined' half tries to make us do (or special someone in your life who has a plan for you).The twist ending is also great! Although a bit predictable. Malin delivers one of her best portraits as the neurotic thirty-four year-old driven mad by societal expectations. Tyler is not bad, but there's something about him that makes him completely forgettable. The rest of the cast is all right except for Lucy. It's great! A rare find!

I wanted to watch this film because I'm a big fan of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil and absolutely loved Tyler Labine's performance in it. In Cottage Country Labine plays Todd who is sort of similar to the character he was in Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil though he's nowhere near as funny in this. Malin Akerman's acting was pretty good in this but I didn't feel the kind of chemistry between them as I did between Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Todd's parents' are really good and they bring some good tension to the movie. Lucy Punch is pretty terrible though. The movie's main problem is that it doesn't quite know what it tries to be. At the start you think it might be a sort of a romantic comedy, at times it's a dark comedy and partly it focuses on the crime story. The laughs come mostly from the few shocks the movie delivers and not so much from the writing. Some of the plot devices were a bit gimmicky, especially the part where Todd suddenly starts seeing dead people and telling secrets to people who shouldn't know them. The Jewish kid was also a bit over the top with his committed detective work during the party. In the end, it's a watchable film if you have nothing else to do but I wouldn't go out of my way to get my hands on it. It's a shame though because the movie's premise had good potential to it. With a bit different script and better writing the movie could've been much better.

Firstly i would like to make some clarifications regarding the genre of this movie.I don't think this movie should be put under the category of action or comedy or thriller, if i was the owner of this title i would have put it under the category of "BOREDOM". This movie definitely fails to thrill and there was hardly one scene which made me laugh, So if anyone is expecting to have a good laugh or thrill by watching this movie "Cottage Country" is not the right movie to watch. There is nothing different or new in this movie, this movie is nothing but bits and pieces of other horror movies put together. Tyler Labine's performance is the only positive factor in this movie and that's the reason why i am rating it with 3 stars and not 1. My advice to those who are thinking about picking this movie is to omit this movie and pick another.
