Rating: 5.0
Laughing from the Gut!
We rented this on Net-Filx, and I can recommend it alone, for thoroughly continuous humor. The fun just doesn't quit, and doesn't disappoint. It's like the Marx Brothers, or Rodney Dangerfield at his best....that is a "Rodney Dangerfield" playing every male part! Death and Love are two subjects of both the greatest human seriousness, and greatest human folly. This film is the antidote to the up-tight and lugubrious religious, and funeral industry's, professional superficiality....and in the social context, of expected conventional funeral behavior. In its way, it loosens up the mind to consider the real meaning of a death and remembrance, the true meaning of mourning...and the deeper meaning of human life. I'm overstating just a little, but this film does carry a very clever screen play, and excellent character acting. I can assuredly recommend it to lovers of good comedy. I think this film is in there with "Sideways", as one of the most extravagantly delightful films of the new century.
