Their father was Hollywood royalty, so what does that make the three wayward sons? As the day begins and the wake commences, the three boys become so wrapped up in their own immediate problems that they nearly forget to grieve. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Wally Hammond, Time Out
If you're a fan of jaundiced views of Hollywood or unedifying portraits of dysfunctional families, look no further.
-
Kate Stables, Total Film
There's more than a whiff of Festen and Altman in first-time director Christopher James's frantic, enjoyably overstuffed funeral drama.
-
Leigh Singer, Film4
Self-aware but self-regarding indie navel gazing; no cause for celebration.
-
Owen Williams, Empire Magazine
Despite the dark tone, the likeably unlikeable ensemble cast is uniformly excellent, and there are some real laughs to be had.
-
Marty Mapes, Movie Habit
Jaymes and his castmates nail the characters and the dialogue
