All My Friends Are Funeral Singers (2010/IndiePix DVD)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C+     Extras: C     Film: C+

 

 

An amusing comedy that works just well enough throughout that it might become some kind of cult item, Tim Rutili’s All My Friends Are Funeral Singers is about a psychic named Zel (Angela Bettis) who has informative dead people (in white clothes, signifying they are angels or close to heaven or the like) who give her the information she needs to help her clients contact the dead or find out other things.

 

She lives alone and one day finds out that alight in the nearby forest/park may signify the end of this convenient arrangement.  A decent comedy with a few serious moments, the acting is not bad, but not great, yet that may help it for some viewers.  I could see why people enjoyed this and for what it is, could not imagine it being any better without being The Ghost & Mrs. Muir.  Still, it is amusing fun for those who might be interested and is at least worth a look.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is not bad throughout and the Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo is well recorded enough, so you get a good enough combination to enjoy, but expect some performance limits tied to the low budget.  Extras include a Music Video, trailer, five featurettes and variant of the answering machine used in the film.
