    Really funny movie, Adrien is very funny in it!

    Its a really funny movie. I laugh almost the hole time. Adrien is really funny in it. The movie is really worth watching it. So if you get the chance to see it, do it. This movie is one of Adrien's earliest. But if your a fan of him its a must seeing it! His character in this movie is a really overact goofy, unlucky fellow. Really funny. And he is as always really good in that kind of role. That's what i like about Adrien, he always picks out this really good an hard to act characters. And he's even playing in a low budged movie and is not ashame of it. Thats what i like. So i have nothing more to say, see it for yourself. I now I'm repeating myself, but it's really worth to watch!

    Not bad as a time killer

    This okay comedy is more watchable than funny, and although the cast does a solid job and kept me interested, the movie just didn't deliver enough laughs. It's a pleasant way to kill some time, but it's by no means anything memorable or special. On a side note, it was weird to see a Kari Wuhrer film where she actually keeps her clothes on, but I highly doubt that this fact will attract more people to this movie. Bottom line: This film is decent, but nothing more.

    Not boring, but nonetheless ordinary

    There are some interesting (original?) ideas in the plot, but I found the acting and the general effect just so-so. The movie did not really make me laugh. Also, French readers please note that the dubbing is poor.

    early brody

    I only gave this movie a 6 out of ten but it is worth a watch if you like adrian brody.He is in almost every scene.I really enjoy his work and thought he stood out here,and in Bullet.If you can locate this movie,give it a chance.Burt Young gets to be a mobster again!

    charming bit of fluff, but no "The Loved One"

    I enjoy black humor, and my all-time favorite flicks include "The Wrong Box" and "The Loved One".

    TUW attempts to be that sort of film--a black comedy centering around the trapping of death and funerals. But in this case, a nice premise and some excellent opportunities for comedy were squandered in order to bring the viewers a made-for-TV caliber romance and Italian-American/mob stereotypes. And that's a bit of a pity, considering some of the acting talent assembled.

    However, this movie is NOT going to be the worst hour and a half you ever spent camped out on the couch. It's very pleasant, and looks quite good.

    The central premise is that if you are the scion to a long and distinguished line of undertakers to the Mob and live in apartments adjoining your funeral home, you will probably have a difficult time finding a nice girl to marry you due to having dead bodies in various stages of preservation camped out on gurneys down the hall. So, despite having an assortment of nice ties, and apparently a thriving business, Our Hero in this one is lovelorn in the extreme.

    Where do they find these idiot women? I mean, what are a few dead bodies down the hall and a seriously bad haircut compared to getting hooked up with Adrien Brody?

    The Lovelorn Undertaker is played by Adrien Brody, and I spent the whole first half of the movie wondering which comedian of Jewish extraction his hairstylist was trying to get him to look like. At first, I thought...Moe Howard. But the bangs weren't long enough. Then, I thought "Adam Sandler", but his hair was just a bit too long and brushed forward over the temples for him to be aping Happy Gilmour. Then, it hit me. JERRY LEWIS! Yeah! In the Dean Martin era!

    Once I'd figured it out, I felt much happier, and was able to settle back and enjoy the flick.

    It's easy to see that Adrien Brody would flat-out tear it up if he were given a better written, romantic comedic role, and one can only hope that happens, so that he does not get forever typecast as a broody, moody, artistic or tormented sort. Here, the big, sad, puppydog eyes and trembling lips are outta control, and despite the too-large suits, he manages to make his rather hangdog character sympathetic, amusing, and attractive.

    So, for Brody fans--a rewarding view. For everyone else, a pleasant, unchallenging hour and a half of fluff.
