| Plot: | Aaron's father's funeral is today at the family home, and everything goes wrong: the funeral home delivers the wrong body; a cousin gives her fiancé a Valium from her brother's apartment, not knowing her brother is dealing drugs - it's LSD and the fiancé arrives at the funeral wildly stoned; Aaron's younger brother, Ryan, a successful writer, flies in from New York broke but arrogant; one uncle is angry over his daughter's choice of boyfriends, and the other is cranky and coarse. Add an ovulating wife, a jealous ex-boyfriend, and a short stranger who wants a word with Aaron - what could he want? Would another death solve Aaron's problems? And what about the eulogy? |

Fact errors: Jeff says he's a pharmacology student. His father Duncan asks him how things are going at Pepperdine. Per their own website, Pepperdine has no pharmacology program. Continuity: When we first see the naked Oscar hanging from the gable on the roof of the house, he's about three feet from the window. Subsequently, in close-up he's much closer than that, and we can see Jeff reach right out and grab him, as he is much closer to the window now than before. Fact errors: When the bottle of Valium is shown, the tablets in it are white, even though the bottle says they are 10mg. All 10mg. brand name and generic Valium (diazepam) are blue. Whites are 2mg. |
Quotes

Aaron: Let me get this straight: our father was romantically involved with a guy that could fit in his pocket, and you're mad because he's white? Norman: You still smokin' that stuff? Derek: No no no, I'm gonna stop, all right? *You* used to smoke, we used to smoke *together*. Norman: I used to piss my pants and then I stopped! Cynthia: [to her childless daughter in law] You can't understand death until you've given life. Ryan: Look at Martina, man the girl's all grown up. Aaron: You mean little Martina? She's like in the 12th grade. Ryan: Well she may be in 12th grade, but that ass is in grad school. Uncle Russell: Hey, let me tell you something about women. Smarter than you think they are, but not nearly as smart as *they* think they are. Jeff: He got in a fight with the table, and the table won. Elaine: You're going to be a father. Oscar: I'm pregnant? Elaine: No. I'm pregnant. Oscar: You're pregnant too? |
