Just Buried
A (very) dark comedy about sex, greed and death.

This is going to be a really, really brief review, so no trailer here. You can see the trailer here.

Just Buried is a dark comedy centered around the inheritance of a funeral home by the owner’s estranged son, and the death and sex that surround it.

When Oliver (Jay Baruchel, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) inherits a failing funeral home, he falls in love with the young mortician Roberta (Rose Byrne, 28 Weeks Later) and they scheme to keep the funeral home from going under. The best way to get more business is to create more business.

While the story could have used a little more work, the direction was outstanding. The humor was indeed dark, and the plot played out perfectly. If you’re in the mood for a dark comedy, and you get a chance to watch this movie – which is available on DVD on 01.27.09 – treat yourself to Just Buried.
