Donald is writing a script in which a detective, serial killer and victim are all revealed to be the same individual with multiple personality disorder. This is presented humorously, and Charlie's response makes it clear it is intended as a parody of the kinds of hoary cliches found in Hollywood thrillers.

The characters don't directly acknowledge or talk to the camera, but the film's plot and humor is very meta and self-aware and regularly comments on itself.

This might depend on your interpretation. It ends on a seemingly optimistic note, with Charlie indicating that he feels hope for the first time, although arguably this is a parody of a stereotypically glib Hollywood ending (as Charlie has suffered a major personal loss and possibly sold out in terms of his script). Overall I would say the ending is more tongue-in-cheek than either "happy" or "sad".
