Good film in which a woman married for the second time is buried in the town of her first husband. Not really a story, but a film about two families meeting for the first time. Fascinating characters and plenty of beautiful and fun moments. Beautiful decoration and a cast with quite a few well-known names. Just under 4.0 stars because the film is actually a bit too full.

There's a good movie hidden somewhere in this material; It's a pity that the back-and-forth editing throws a spanner in the works and has turned it into a fragmentary and rather unbalanced whole. Fortunately, the lively atmosphere and excellent cast make up for a lot, with especially fine roles from Robert Duvall and Billy Bob Thornton, who also directs here. Many strong scenes and a number of memorable monologues, but in the end it is all a bit too casual to really make an impression.
