Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Passed Away is one of those movies that introduces a family filled with troubled people, brings them all together at a funeral and solves their dilemmas, while also trying desperately to be funny and heartwarming Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Pamela Bruce Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant Even such a superlative cast cannot save this picture, which seems desined to pass away soon, to be interred and half-forgotten in the video racks of America.

None O It is fun…for me the family dynamic was real😀 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Antonella F Loved it. Bob was awesome, the movie was funny, lighthearted and full of dark humor. Unfortunate that so many just didn't get it. Great flick! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny black comedy about a man's experiences at his father's funeral. Hilarious performances by the entire cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member An extremely watchable comedy. Perhaps underrated. Lively performances from the entire cast make the story engrossing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Completely un-funny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun ensemble movie. It's "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" for Irish Americans. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
