[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Oliver (Jay Baruchel - Tropic Thunder) is destined for an uneventful life until the day he and his brother Jackie breeze into town to attend the funeral of their estranged father. To everyone's bewilderment, Oliver inherits his father's estate - a funeral home. Oliver learns from the handyman Henry (Graham Greene) that the home is on the verge of bankruptcy. That night, his life gets increasingly complicated when he takes a drunken drive with the bewitching enbalmer Roberta (Rose Byrne-Damages) and collides with a hiker. Roberta cleverly disguises the fatality as an accident, providing Oliver with his first paying customer and launching the duo into a merciless killing spree that evolves from accidental to intentional.

    Bloody and irredeemably misanthropic.

    More twee than any movie about serial murder has a right to be.

    Too competent as a Fargo-esque indie murder comedy to dismiss (yet too dull to fully embrace), the Canadian Just Buried yields serviceable results from material that’s got rigor mortis.

    Its ability to maintain such a pleasant facade in the midst of so much gruesomeness may be the creepiest thing about it.

    Any episode of Six Feet Under had more sharp, mordant wit and freewheeling derangement than you'll find in Just Buried.

    Has its wonky charms, but suffers from trying too hard to be quirky.

    ...sporadically amusing yet entirely uneven...

    Blame the Brits for making this kind of morbid farce look easy...

    Sometimes a big batch of small chuckles, a few strong performances and a quietly amusing concept are enough to keep a comedy afloat.
