The premise is smart and funny, the presentation is lush. But Taiwan struggles with comedies, and Dead Talents Society falls victim to the usual traps. The performances, despite the presence of a solid cast, aren't that great, and the comedy feels a little flimsy and toothless, which takes away from the mood.
The introduction is great and the premise is original. I had good hopes after the first fifteen minutes, but then things got a bit sillier and the film also became more repetitive. It's still a good option if you're looking for something a little different. The presentation is fine too, but it's just not funny enough.
