Summary of The Pallbearer
Hot star David Schwimmer (TV's Friends) makes a hilarious big-screen debut in this outrageous comedy hit! As Tom Thompson, the popular star plays a befuddled college grad whose social life is practically D.O.A....that is, until he's asked to be a pallbearer at the funeral of a classmate he can't remember! Comic chaos follows as Tom fends off the seductive advances of the grieving mother (Barbara Hershey - Beaches), and tries desperately to find the nerve to ask out the beautiful girl of his dreams (Academy Award(r) winner Gwyneth Paltrow - Best Actress, 1998, Shakespeare In Love) - who can't remember him!This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
David Schwimmer plays a drifting twentysomething who receives a telephone call out of the blue to be a pallbearer at the funeral of someone he supposedly knew in school. Trouble is, the caller has mistaken Schwimmer's character for someone else, but our hapless hero--who still lives with his mother at home--doesn't know how to say no. An encounter with the dead man's mother (Barbara Hershey) leads to a sexual relationship, while an old flame (Gwyneth Paltrow) from high school is suddenly on the horizon if only Schwimmer's loser character can quickly get his act together. This umpteenth variation on the Oedipal conflicts in Mike Nichols's The Graduate doesn't have the imagination, vitality, or authority to take classic themes about growing up all the way to the finish line. But in its brooding, comic way, it is honest about the difficulties of crossing the line into adulthood when one doesn't know how. --Tom Keogh
