A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG is a dark comedy about a couple trying to deal with the hardest kind of parenthood; their only daughter Josephine has cerebral palsy, is wheelchair bound and can not communicate. Bri and Sheila's marriage is on the brink from the stress of Joe's afflictions, her grandmother Grace opines how "lovely if she was running about," and their friends Pam and Freddy drop by hoping to encourage them to be a little selfish and put Joe in a proper facility. But by the end of the night Bri is having morbid fantasies and no one is left "sitting about like Joe Egg."
JOE EGG is a dark comedy, and while there are no sexually explicit or violent scenes, parents may want to consider if their children's sense of humor is mature enough to understand the dark nature of the comedy.
