If yesterday's trailer for Get Low had you with its funeral party premise but lost you by not including Jesse Eisenberg and a guy acting like a Will Ferrell character, I have the solution: The Living Wake, a comedy destined to be dubbed "quirky" in every review that was finished a couple years ago but is just now getting a May release.

Here's the trailer. Could this be the next Napoleon Dynamite? In that it's going to be horribly divisive, with rival camps furious at the notion another human being could hate/love this indie masterpiece/POS? Definitely:

I'm still not sure which camp I'm in, but the idea of people shouting impressions of this guy is giving me a little push.
