Given the high-profile cast (Kristen Wiig, Gillian Jacobs, Bobby Moynihan, Elijah Wood, Kevin Corrigan, Adam Brody, Garret Dillahunt, David Rasche, Jayne Atkinson, and Ryan Phillippe all appear) and its billing as a dark comedy, you’d think it’d be reasonable to expect a twisted good time from Chadd Harbold‘s Revenge for Jolly!
