Every Tuesday, my mother and I watch a movie together. We choose something from
Netflix, queue it up, count to three and hit play. She lives in New Jersey and I live in Florida. Most of the time she ends up falling asleep and I end up spending more time doing other things, or we talk all the way through the movie. The point though, is that we spend that time together. No matter how crazy life gets, we have our Tuesdays together.
Honestly, most of the movies we choose are not so good. Sometimes we go watch the first 30 minutes of several before we find something worth watching.
Henry Lefay is a self proclaimed romantic. Only problem is he can't choose just one wife, he changes wives like most people change their shoes. His only child, Barbie, has been through five of his marriages. When Henry asks his grown daughter to tell his current wife it's over, Barbie throws in the towel. Barbie returns a year later after hearing of her father's death to plan his funereal. It's seems that Henry has written letters to everyone in his life pertaining to his wishes, which would have been helpful if each letter wasn't vastly different. Each wives is determined to stick to his wishes and fights to have things her own way. Comedy ensues.
Although the center stage for the movie is a funereal parlor and the main character is a womanizing, selfish pig...the movie turns out to be a hilarious, fun adventure. Just when things start to lean towards anything sad, you find yourself laughing.
Ok, this review is going to be short.
