Bennett (Andrew Buckley) and Davis (Ed Gaughan) have built a successful business around their unusual talent -- using some makeshift tools, they can step into a house and quite literally uncover the skeletons in someone's closet, making them popular with young couples who want to know the nitty-gritty about their partners before they get married. All is well with Bennett and Davis until they're hired by Jane (Paprika Steen), a mother of two whose husband vanished without a trace eight years ago. Jane hopes that they might be able to discover some of her hubby's secrets that could give some clues to his whereabouts, as well as what caused her daughter Rebecca (Tuppence Middleton) to lose the ability to speak. But digging into the mysteries of Jane's household takes Bennett and Davis down some psychic detours they've never explored. Skeletons was the first feature film from writer and director Nick Whitfield. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Thank you Richard for recomending this! An eccentricly Charlie Kaufman-esque award winning gem (Edinburgh festival) that is worth watching, uses large dozes of dry British humour to deliver a strangely heartfelt, and very funny story with a lead duo that can only be compared to Travolta/Jackson in Pulp Fiction.

Unusual British comedy. Two professional ... well, I'm not sure what the word is for what they are,.... two professional thingys then .... extract skeletons from peoples closets, metaphysically and literally, with the aid of a hummy thing with lights and a comprehensive questionnaire to be completed first by the closet owners. In order to get promotion, they take on a tricky case but it proves more complicated than they expect. Dot dot dot. More giggly than belly-laugh full , with a sweet centre. <img src="http://www.eatsleeplivefilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/skeletons3-640x240.jpg"> . . .
