As a fun twist to our "Movie Night with the Holubs" we let them pick out a couple film festival films and they are not telling us what they are. This was the first of the two they chose.
At turns gruesome and funny and gruesomely funny, this plot rang a little of 6 Feet Under meets Weekend at Bernie's (that's the second time that film has been mentioned in this blog) but it was smart and very Mexican, which is what you hope from a foreign film. The parts I enjoyed most were surrounding the side-plot of the daughter of the funeral parlor-owner and the nephew of the dead man.
A little inconsistent, but enjoyable and fun.
