Well I watched the romantic comedy Pallbearer for Gwyneth Paltrow but I must say that David Schwimmer of Friend’s fame played his role very well. The film is a light hearted romance between the lead characters and should be watched as such. Don’t expect it to be a Hi-Fi romantic film.
David Schwimmer has been mistaken as a friend of a dead guy. As he receives the call from the mother of the dead person, he cannot tell her that he is the wrong guy. As a result he has to serve as pallbearer and has to give the eulogy at the funerals also. His gaffes during the eulogy set the stage for the element of comedy in the movie. Of course he becomes involve with the mother of the dead guy. At the funerals David catches the sight of Gwyneth Paltrow, his real sweetheart. David is now torn between his love for Paltrow and his relationship with the old lady.
The movie heavily borrows some themes from “The Graduate” however the closing of the film is unique and real fun. There are many side stories running parallel to the love story of David and Gwyneth.
One of his friends is trying to tie knots with a woman whom rest of the company despises. One of David’s friends even tries to attract Paltrow attention much to the scorn of David.
Paltrow is as sweet as ever and has portrayed the role of Julie really well. David Schwimmer has also done his best to fulfill the requirements of the character.
