It is a weird story set in 1933 Tennessee about a mean old man, Felix Bush, who wants to throw his own funeral party so he can tell his story before he dies.
The movie is exactly as advertised, it is about an old trying to have a funeral before he dies and that’s about it.
Bush, played by Robert Duvall, hires a funeral director, Frank Quinn played by Bill Murray, to set everything up for the funeral party. Quinn’s only problem is that everyone is afraid of Bush and no one will come to the party.
So. the rest of the movie is about getting people to the party and discovering more about Bush, which is both entertaining and interesting.
The movie started off light and kind of funny but about half-way through it gets deep. That part of the movie will make or break it for most viewers.
Duvall and Murray both give great performances and deserve recognition.
Rating: B, Good and well-acted film, but will the average movie-goer like it?
