Get Low

Perhaps you’ve thought about your funeral, perhaps not. If you’re a popular, well-loved do-gooder perhaps you’d be just a little curious to hear all the wonderful things people would say about you when you’re dead. But if you’re anything like Felix Bush, you’d expect no one to pitch or, if they did, to say only nasty things.

Robert Duvall plays Bush, a sour, old hermit who shoots at anyone who steps a toe on his property. The townsfolk don’t have many nice things to say about him, so when Bush decides to throw his own living funeral and invite everyone to attend, it causes quite a stir. Bill Murray plays the money-hungry funeral director who’s more than happy to assist with the plans, and he’s simply brilliant. With two all-star male leads, you can’t go wrong with this film.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
