A Charming Mass Suicide (Finnish: Hurmaava joukkoitsemurha) is a 2000 Finnish black comedy film written and directed by Ere Kokkonen. The film is based on Arto Paasilinna's 1990 novel of the same name, telling story about two men, who both have tried to commit a suicide, deciding to found a "Let's do it together"-suicide association to help the self-destructive people to succeed in their goal. The film is starring by Tom Pöysti, Heikki Kinnunen, Sari Siikander, Santeri Kinnunen and Heikki Nousiainen.
In addition to Finland, the film has also been shot in Norway, Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain. Director Kokkonen also filmed the film as an eight-part television series.
The film received a mixed reception from critics. Tv-maailma's review states that the "film laughs at Finnish national gloom as well as the desire to found the association, and the genre is stated to be mixed-strength opera buffa". Arto Pajukallio from Helsingin Sanomat stated that "the film's fun is mainly based on detached literary jokes, for which the actors cannot find an echo base".
