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.
Not only does matriarch Dorothy have to contend with sudden widowhood, but she’s also faced with church-committee harpy Ozella Meeks sticking her nose in the family business, Dewey’s snake-in-the-grass brother making a grab for her house, and two grown daughters reliving their childhood rivalry.
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.
