This story about relatives who set about annoying each other at a funeral has some heartfelt emotion, but it clashes spectacularly with unseemly gross-out humor.

...a well-intentioned yet wholly misguided piece of work that effectively wastes its talented cast...

Feels long at 90 minutes and never quite tickles the audience's funnybone or engages their sympathies.

There's nothing original about this film, but it does boast a solid anchor in Goldberg and include some pretty good acting around her.
