Just Buried
A (very) dark comedy about sex, greed and death.
After inheriting a funeral home in a small town where nobody is dying, Oliver (Jay Baruchel) and his embalmer girlfriend (Rose Byrne) start bumping off the locals in order to drum up business.
Oliver (Jay Baruchel) 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 embalmer Roberta (Rose Byrne) and collides with a hiker.
Roberta cleverly disguises the fatality as an accident, providing Oliver with his first paying customer and launching the duo on a merciless killing spree that evolves from accidental to intentional. As they scramble to stay out of jail and keep the funeral home in business, the body count rises steeply and their victims expire in increasingly bizarre and brutal "accidents."
Trying to remain one step ahead of the local law (Roberta's father, Chief of Police Knickle, and her boyfriend, Constable Richmond), Oliver is torn between the affections of Roberta and his young, alluring stepmother, Luanne. With his business and love life blossoming, Oliver gains confidence—until he finds he has dug a grave for himself too deep to escape.

I don't know if it's just that I've gotten to the point where my life is so busy that I can't bear to sit through a movie that isn't worth watching, but I have found yet another movie that got clicked off part-way through. I just couldn't handle the bad acting and slow plot. This movie could have been great, but I didn't see any promise here to conclude the whole viewing.
