Just Buried (2007)

2007 was pretty good year for film, and this movie probably got lost in the hype of Enchanted, Hairspray and No Country for old men, it may not live it up to the Oscar winning NCFOM, or the bright and bubbly of Enchanted or the music and energy of Hairspray, but this movie isn't meant to. it's twisted with an interesting plot with decent twists in the story to maintain your interest.

Rose Byrne (Damages) and Jay Baruchel (star of the new flick She's out of my league) star as Roberta Knickel and Oliver Whynacht.

Oliver inherits a bankrupt funeral home from his estranged father, only here's the thing: no-one in town is dying. when Oliver accidentally hits a man with his car, he and Roberta scramble to cover it up leading into even more deaths.

this movie was more intriguing than funny, although it did have it's moments, it depends on your sense of humour. It's not a complicated plot, so you won't have to think too much but pay attention just enough so you can go "wow! i didn't expect that!"

for acting: 3/5 the movie didn't really require much, even though most people know how good Rose Byrne is

story: 4/5 interesting, perhaps not as funny as it was intended but still funny.

deaths: 3/5 pretty cool and original, a lagging bit was probably that no-one pegged it was them, even though they left a lot of finger prints. pretty bad murderers, but since its only a movie...

Movie: 3 and a half out of 5

a decent score, not bad not great, its better than a lot of the crap that comes out today.
