Movie Haiku:Very likeable assistant funeral director in Carthage, Texas (Black) befriends a totally unlikeable but extremely wealthy widow (MacLaine). Played for laughs like a Cristopher Guest movie except that the minor parts are actually played by the real people of a wholesome town who share their own unique POVs on a truly "stranger than fiction" story.
