Deviously cute and darkly funny

Warning: Spoilers
I just caught this film on cable and gave it a watch on my mother's recommendation, as the premise was quite fascinating: Parents who abuse their children take them to a camping trip to sell them for organs.

In between the fun of witnessing the sudden overreactingly caring parents, we witness how the kids' health is tested by drugs and exercise and at a point picked as they were fruit by the wealthy clients. But if that's not colorful enough, we learn that if one kid gets "disqualified", the money will be shared amongst less people, which leads to some twistedly funny situations XD

The film is, first of all, very fun, as the uncaring parents we indeed quite colorful characters, but also quite crude, although that crudeness dilutes by the ridiculousness that arises. There's nothing remarkable about the aesthetic of the film, but that's not really important in this case.

After all, a nice film to watch. :)
