Critics Sentiment
Frank's Star Trek themed funeral goes spectacularly wrong
Hugh insists on watching Boris seal Betty's coffin
The film surges from a contrived burial complication to the beloved haunted house revenge sequence, jumping from 5.4 to 7.2.
The sentiment follows a gentle upward arc from a slow start, peaking during Walken's comedic funeral sequences and the haunted house revenge. While critics found the premise bizarre and some plot elements unnecessary, they consistently praised the performances and British humor, with Walken's eccentric American mortician stealing scenes throughout.
