What happens?

Academy Award(R) winner Christopher Walken (Best Supporting Actor, THE DEER HUNTER, 1978; WEDDING CRASHERS) stars with Oscar(R) nominees Naomi Watts (Best Actress, 21 GRAMS, 2003; KING KONG), and Brenda Blethyn (Best Supporting Actress, LITTLE VOICE, 1998; BEHOND THE SEA) in this devilish, offbeat comedy that follows the crowd-pleasing tradition of WAKING NED DEVINE. Stuck 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!
