Head above Water

REVIEW
A truly wretched comedy with a slumming Keitel as a middle-aged judge who becomes terribly jealous when he finds the dead, naked body of the old beau of his beautiful young wife in the basement. Boring misadventures follow as husband and wife team up to try to dispose of the body, while Diaz's childhood friend (Sheffer) grows suspicious. A cutesy "comic" music score only adds to the misery as three able actors give career-low performances walking around like dull idiots. The ending is a slow death-crawl to the credits, with no buildup or climax to speak of. In fact, the ending is so inconsequential and casual, you may feel you have missed something. You won't want to rewind to find out what.
