Comedy

Aaron's father's funeral is today at the family home, and everything goes wrong: the funeral home delivers the wrong body, his cousin accidentally drugs her fiancé, and Aaron's successful younger brother, Ryan, flies in from New York, broke but arrogant. To top it all off, a mysterious stranger wants a word with Aaron.

VIBE

This film is a riotous, escalating spiral of family chaos and dark humor. It feels like a pressure cooker of secrets and mishaps, where every attempt at decorum crumbles into hilarious, often shocking, absurdity. Expect a relentless barrage of comedic misfortune, all wrapped in a surprisingly warm, if dysfunctional, family embrace.
