Deadpan

Jared and Jerusha Hess have dry senses of humor. They are the masterminds behind the cult favorite Napoleon Dynamite, and they are heading back to the big screen to reproduce its success with Gentleman Broncos. The film, which tells the story of a loner who has his sci-fi novel stolen and published by his favorite author, sounds good on paper. However, the final result doesn't fare quite as expected, leaving much to be desired in all facets of the feature.

On the morning of his father’s funeral, Daniel’s day is not starting out too good. Not only is he about to be faced with his annoying, famed novelist brother Robert, but the funeral home has just delivered the wrong body to the ceremony. Then combine that with his wife constantly pressuring him to put a down payment on a ‘flat’, and his cousin trying to help her fiancé win over her stubborn father – a plan that never really gets started when Simon accidentally takes a designer drug on the way to the service. But this all seems like nothing when the real shock of the day arrives.
