An enjoyable laugh out loud British comedy
20 May 2003 | by (Sussex, England) – See all my reviews

I found this a very enjoyable light hearted comedy set in Wales with some truly funny sequences highlighting the rivalry between two funeral directors. The showbiz ideas used by Christopher Walken's character to liven up his funerals are genuinely laugh out loud moments.
