Movie Reviews of Undertaking Betty
Movie Review: Totally silly in a good way
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a riot. Stumbled onto it 15 minutes into it, but was immediately intrigued and had to watch. Watched it again a week later with my husband, and we laughed our butts off. The plot is ridiculous, of course, but clever and very funny. The casting was superb, as was the acting. It's great to see someone like Alfred Molina, who was such a...jerk...in Chocolat play such a tongue-in-cheek role, and Brenda Blethyn, as always, has fantastic comedic timing. This is destined to become a cult classic, just like her film Saving Grace. And Naomi Watts is great. Didn't even recognize her because she's so different in every role, but she plays the diabolical mistress to the hilt.
Highly recommend for a break from a stressful day.
Summary of Undertaking Betty
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; Beyond 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 fl amboyant competing funeral director (Walken) jumps in determined to fgive Betty a send-off no one will ever forget!This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
