That was an excellent one.

From my favorite movies..

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Going into this movie, my expectations were incredibly low. I had never heard of it, the plot sounded impossibly bizarre, and the few frames of the movie that were on display looked like they were taken using an old Polaroid Camera. However, the movie left me praising the genius I had witnessed. It seems like the flaws I mentioned earlier were done deliberately. The filter lighting and cameras used give the movie a vintage feeling, this combined with the simplistic camera angles make it feel like it is from the late 80's. The fact that the movie is so little-known makes it feel like a relic lost to time. Finally, the bizarre plot seems to be too ridiculous to take seriously, making it appear like a Mars Attacks!-esque 'B' movie . While it could be viewed like that, it could also be viewed as a metaphor for the evils of mankind twisting someone who's relatively innocent and turning them into a monster, much like Walter White in Breaking Bad. Interpret this movie as a cheesy comedy or a dark metaphor, this is absolutely worth watching.

Aimless Oliver Whynacht (Jay Baruchel) inherits his estranged father's nearly-bankrupted funeral home. There is a lack of people dying. With worker Roberta Knickle (Rose Byrne), they set off to kill so they could resume their funeral work.This dark comedy lack the require style to be quirky or dark enough. It's a Canadian indie but director/writer Chaz Thorne just don't have the skills to pull this off. There's a definite lack of energy in the shooting style. As hard as the actors try, they just couldn't fill the lack of pace. It does pick up later on as more and more people are killed. But it doesn't save the movie.

Wow, what a great movie. Firstly I must say that this movie made me to become fan of Rose Byrne. She is amazing here. Much better than her role in Damages or Wicker Park. After his father death, Oliver (Jay Baruchel) comes in a small town on his funeral and there he meet beautiful local mortician Roberta Knickel (Rose Byrne). His father leaves him funeral home. Business goes well when people suddenly start's dying but everything is just a part of bigger plan. Movie is black comedy and it has very funny scenes, but Rose Byrne is the main reason to watch it couple of times. The best scene in this movie to me is conversation about Roberta's work on dead people during breakfast. She is so in her role while she was explaining Oliver how she prepares body for funeral.

With the cold climate and attempts at dark humor, I could definitely see that a Fargo-like picture was this filmmaker's goal. Unfortunately, desire to be like Fargo doesn't necessarily result in a movie that's anywhere near the same league as Fargo. In fact, mentioning Just Buried and Fargo in the same sentence is an enormous cinematic sacrilege.Some actors transcend horrible writing. Jay Baruchel is not one of those actors. I can see how, with Judd Apatow pulling the strings in Undeclared, Baruchel might have appeared as brilliant to a prospective casting agent. For a while I was quite enamored. If you could actually sit through this entirely movie like I did, though, you'd see how painfully unbrilliant Jay Baruchel really is.Ultimately, though, at the end of the day, this isn't Jay's fault. The fault lies squarely in the hands of one of the most hackneyed writers to come along in quite some time. This script has the mental acuity of a 6 old. At first you groan at the hideous choices the writer makes, but, by the end, you're laughing- a lot. It's just so stupid and so far-fetched- there's nothing left to do but laugh.Boring, predictable and dumb. This is in my top 10 most miserable movie going experiences. Rose Byrne, shame on you for accepting this role. If this is indicative of your ability to weed out good scripts from the bad, you're in heaps of trouble. At no point in time could this script ever have looked like a viable project.Unless, of course, you have a 6 year old reading scripts for you.
