About this movie

Academy Award winner Christopher Walken (Best Supporting Actor, The Deer Hunter, 1978; Wedding Crashers) stars with Oscar nominees Naomi Watts (Best Actress, 21 Grams, 2003; King Kong) and Brenda Blethyn (Best Supporting Actress, Little Voice, 1998; Beyond The Sea) in this devilish, offbeat comedy that follows the crowd pleasing tradition of Waking Ned Devine! Stick in a marriage that's killing her, Betty (Blethyn) thinks the only way to break from her two-timing scoundrel of a husband is to fake her own death! With the help of her rekindled old flame, the local undertaker (Alfred Molina, Chocolat, Frida), a quiet funeral is planned down to the smallest detail. but nothing goes as planned when a flamboyant competing funeral director (Walken) jumps in determined to give Betty a send-off no one will ever forget!
