Description:
Academy Award(R) winner Christopher Walken (Best Supporting Actor, THE DEER HUNTER, 1978; WEDDING CRASHERS) stars with Oscar(R) nominees Naomi Watts (Best Actress, 21 GRAMS, 2003; KING KONG), and Brenda Blethyn (Best Supporting Actress, LITTLE VOICE, 1998; BEHOND THE SEA) in this devilish, offbeat comedy that follows the crowd-pleasing tradition of WAKING NED DEVINE. Stuck in a marriage that's killing her, Betty (Blethyn) thinks the only way to break from her two-timing scoundrel of a husband is to fake her own death! With the help of her rekindled old flame, the local undertaker (Alfred Molina -- CHOCOLAT, FRIDA), a quiet funeral is planned down to the smallest detail. But nothing goes as planned when a flamboyant competing funeral director (Walken) jumps in determined to give Betty a send-off no one will ever forget!

In the small town of Wrottin Powys, there are two morticians: Boris Plots, the conventional, boring, and traditional option; and Frank Featherbed (Walken), a man ... Read More

Funny, fun, silly exciting! And what can I say....My brother (TCC)produced it. I loved it!!
Big stars doing funny things. It's worth your time.
Rating: - FUN SMALL-TOWN 'DEATH BECOMES HER'
I wish Amazon allowed me to give 4.5 stars, because removing 1 star for a featureless DVD is a bit harsh to this charming caper comedy with a good-natured "plot", the kind you expect from pretty much anything that Brenda Blethyn decides to be a part of. An enterprising American funeral parlor owner wants to revolutionize the business by introducing theme parties, for instance, a Star Trek funeral for an old woman, replete with Dr. Spock ears. Some quirky competitive activity ensues. Funny twists ... Read More
