Southern Fried Funeral

Synopsis:

Dewey Frye is dead and the rest of his family is left to pick up the pieces – that is if they don't kill each other first. Funerals bring out the worst, the best, and the funniest in people, and the Fryes are no exception. A big-hearted comedy about family – Southern-style.
