The Trouble with Jessica

The Trouble with Jessica, as a dark comedy, primarily elicits **Humor** and **Joy** from its audience through the escalating absurdity of Jessica's uninvited and shocking behavior. The initial financial troubles of Sarah and Tom generate some **Empathy**, but this quickly gives way to **Surprise** and **Confusion** as the dinner party descends into a 'terrifying nosedive' of events. **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** are present, not as genuine fear, but as a comedic tension wondering what outrageous thing will happen next. Ultimately, the film aims for **Happiness** and **Relief** as the chaotic situation unfolds and potentially resolves, albeit in an unconventional manner.
