Really stunk up my VCR
I thought this film was so bad that I wanted to spray my VCR with Lysol when it was over! YECCH! This "comedy" deals with a very unlikeable and unappealing family's events surrounding the death of their equally unlikeable father. Sounds like a real knee-slapper, right? Yes folks, it's as funny as it sounds as 99% of the characters are incredibly annoying to watch and are almost to a one without redeeming qualities. Bitter old women, trifling and lazy men, bratty kids, ad nauseum.BUT- LL Cool J (James Todd Smith)'s character does have a nice moment at the funeral where he tries to make some sense out of all this nonsense and straighten out this ultra-dysfunctional motley crew. Thus it gets two stars instead of one from me. However, the mess that one has to sit through to get to this good part near the end just ain't worth it. Don't waste your time.However, the one interesting thing about this film is that it is one of the few films of recent times with a Black cast where race isn't even MENTIONED or bears no relevence to the plot. In fact, this could have easily been done with a White cast. I guess that's equality when Blacks have just as much opportunity to make bad films as Whites!
