The film is directed by Neil LaBute and is a remake of the 2007 British film of the same name. The movie tells the story of Aaron (Chris Rock), who is preparing for the funeral of his father. Aaron's family and friends come together to pay their last respects, but things quickly start to unravel when Aaron's brother Ryan (Martin Lawrence) shows up unexpectedly after many years with a mysterious guest. Meanwhile, a family friend, Uncle Russell (Danny Glover), has accidentally taken a dose of hallucinogenic drugs, which leads to some hilarious moments during the funeral service.

As the day goes on, secrets are revealed, tensions rise, and relationships are tested. The family's long-buried grudges and secrets are exposed, which leads to more chaos and unexpected twists.

The movie's pacing is brisk, with plenty of jokes and gags thrown in to keep things interesting.
