Featured review
An obnoxious woman (Bette Midler), who was despised by everyone who knew her, got murdered. Who did it?
The characters in this movie are to die for, because they are truly hilarious. Great acting, by a lot of great actors. But after a great start, the movie slowly peters out.
Funny enough for 1 watch, but when you know the plot, there isnt much else left to be enjoyed. Yes, the jokes are good, but this comedy is a bit TOO dumb and farcical at times. I can only handle that many farcical jokes in a row before I get numb.
For fans of Casey Affleck dont let this chance pass by to see him, because he is truly hilarious as a meek, blonde, dumb looser. Will Ferrel as a funeral employee is hilarious as well.
