    What a Way to Die

    Studio forced DVD viewers to watch trailers for other studio offerings up for sale. Lots of Zoom style squares (if you're not familiar it's where you can see any number of people simultaneously talking) on your computer screen. Also added scenes of shaky cell phone camera recordings. Storyline is filled with a lot of family arguments/discussions on dying/dead mom funeral, etc. Interspersed with videos by her still giving out advice after she's gone.
    5ks-60500

    Low budget can be not bad

    I wonder those are really the actors home when film it. Storyline is Alrite with all the zoom meetings what we deal daily during Covid. Casual time killing but not boring product.

    Not just a pandemic movie that had many amusing quirks

    I watched this movie on AA flight. I found myself smiling and wanting to laugh out loud. I'm not quick to feel that way about a comedy movie.

    Yes movie is shown as if all the family is on ZOOM. It's categorized as a Pandemic movie but I think it could be realistic without that caveat as it is about an elderly relative saying goodbye to daughter, grandchildren, and even a couple of great grandchildren. There are several twists involving her last goodbye which turns into multiple goodbyes.

    It's not a deep movie but I found the family (there were many of them) dysfunctional just enough to be funny.

    It also shows that family bonds can beat dysfunctional. 😆.

    • Trivia
      "Shoot the Rooster" was the original title. Which is why roosters are everywhere. Some obvious (the CG targets) and some less so (weathervanes and such).
