This is on my list of Ten Most Underrated Films of All Time. It is also both heart-rending and funny. Its heart-rending because it is a souvenir of a time and place gone by that captures the moment perfectly, in much the same way as Secaucus Seven did for a somewhat younger generation. Additionally, like Return of the Secaucus Seven, it is filled with marvelous performances--reminding people why George Segal was considered a very promising talent--and its script and pacing make it very, very funny. For people who have raised on Seinfeld, Bye Bye Braverman is a much more accurate depiction of how bright, normal people in New York can be funny, tragic, and a delight to watch. And all of this from a plot that consists of, "So, how do we get to the funeral from here?"
