To me, this movie is perfection.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Aimless Oliver Whynacht (Jay Baruchel) inherits his estranged father's nearly-bankrupted funeral home. There is a lack of people dying. With worker Roberta Knickle (Rose Byrne), they set off to kill so they could resume their funeral work.This dark comedy lack the require style to be quirky or dark enough. It's a Canadian indie but director/writer Chaz Thorne just don't have the skills to pull this off. There's a definite lack of energy in the shooting style. As hard as the actors try, they just couldn't fill the lack of pace. It does pick up later on as more and more people are killed. But it doesn't save the movie.

I loved it even though I saw the Twist coming a mile off. Who didn't..Having a twist at the end of a film, That hits you like an Intergalatic Gargle blaster is very...very rare. Did I mention that I enjoyed it. I am off to get some more popcorn. To watch it again.Jaffa's anyone. Oh and I would have done ANYTHING for Rose. Next Hires Sunshine,Tender Hooks, Adam, and Knowing. As Knowing does look good. Will put her In my MythTV Record list. Hope you enjoy this film for it is a little gem. But a previous poster mentions the fact that this is a remake...If so what was the original movie. Will have to see The Last Super as this is mention on the DVD "In the tradition of"

Wow, what a great movie. Firstly I must say that this movie made me to become fan of Rose Byrne. She is amazing here. Much better than her role in Damages or Wicker Park. After his father death, Oliver (Jay Baruchel) comes in a small town on his funeral and there he meet beautiful local mortician Roberta Knickel (Rose Byrne). His father leaves him funeral home. Business goes well when people suddenly start's dying but everything is just a part of bigger plan. Movie is black comedy and it has very funny scenes, but Rose Byrne is the main reason to watch it couple of times. The best scene in this movie to me is conversation about Roberta's work on dead people during breakfast. She is so in her role while she was explaining Oliver how she prepares body for funeral.

This funeral home based dark comedy is somewhat of a rarity. It does not pull any punches, at times is gritty, and resolves itself with quite a satisfying ending. The fact that other than Graham Greene's character, no one will elicit any sympathy just adds to the fun. If you like death as a motivation for personal gain, then "Just Buried" is a must see. The acting and character development is quite good for this limited budget endeavor. It is funny, never boring, and at times unpredictable. The conclusion especially is surprisingly original. I recommend this black comedy for both it's creativity and entertainment value. - MERK
