I watched this based on the premise of it being a comedy about altar boys serving at funerals. It is not funny, and only the opening scene with "Ave Maria" playing in a church has anything to do with the title. After that, it becomes a "Stand by Me" wannabe with neither Stephen King's superb coming of age story nor Rob Reiner's perfect direction. The main thirteen and fourteen year olds are fine young actors, but the script gives them little to do but curse constantly, smoke cigarettes and crash a party with high school age kids. Along the way they break into a video store and damage a car and wander aimlessly from scene to scene with no point at any time. I was bored to tears by Funeral Kings, and, thankfully, it is only eighty five minutes. Avoid it and rent Stand By Me instead.
