I think the word 'dramedy' would best describe the movie.
Definitely, IluvBarnabas. I don't know how anyone who has actually seen the film could describe it as a comedy - and I have no idea why Warner Brothers insists on still promoting it as such with their choice of review quotes on the DVD/Blu-ray packaging. But then, we're never likely to fully understand the marketing campaign. All I know for sure is that I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they came up with it because the debates must have been fascinating.
