If this is a comedy, then I must have been using the wrong dictionaries all this time. I found the movie deeply depressing, as the story of a masochistic character who does all in her power to make her place in society as awkward as she possibly can. The anti-heroine, "Mrs" Ferguson, has a negative personality, without one spark of joy or interest in her fellow humans. Her behavior is selfish, she has no desire to help others, not even her close relatives including her four-year-old daughter. All that happens to her is someone else's fault, she has no empathy towards other people's misfortunes. In the movie, we also get an insight into the American prison system and its bleak features. At the end of this mercifully short picture I felt rather despondent.
