Wonderful movie about finding purpose in life When an ex convict is about to inherit a funeral home he suddenly gets to learn that there is another way to live except bare surviving. This is a simple story about the most elusive subject which is the magic formula for happiness. Very well done - fast paced and witty. The main cast shine. Highly recommended drama with lots of funny moments and a young girl which will melt your heart. Perfect 10 shining star score
