an exercise in poor taste, 11 January 2004
Author: bukakkefriedchicken from fabulous Las Vega$!

One-joke comedy benefits from onscreen talent, but there really isn't much to recommend this. Two brothers inherit a funeral parlor that doubles as a school of the post-mortem arts...but the only way they can collect on the goods is to complete a mortician's school training course. Dumb jokes in very poor taste abound, but this is far from a rewarding film...if not for the presence of Wornov and Bartel, this would be downright awful. 3.5/10
