This contrived black comedy from My Best Friend's Wedding director P J Hogan is a curious affair. Alternating between laugh-out-loud hilarious and cringingly bad, it manages to be wildly unconventional and yet at times totally traditional. Kathy Bates is an obsessed American housewife who treks off to Britain for the funeral of her favourite crooner (Jonathan Pryce), only to become embroiled in a hunt for his murderer with the star's lover, Rupert Everett. Though this odd-couple pairing has charm, it's the sharp tongue of Bates's dwarf daughter-in-law, Meredith Eaton, that's the real delight. Unfortunately such wit is ultimately wasted, washed away in a sludgy finale of sentimentality and farce.

Surprisingly good
This is a treat...one of those movies that you can kick back and relax too. So so funny in places, and the actress playing the daughter in law is the best comedy performance I have seen in a long time.
Just because you havn't heard of it...don't let that put you off. A perfect Sunday movie or when you don't want to think too much about plot etc. -
