Bye, Bye Braverman-Oy Vey! *

Warning: Spoilers
Awful film where 4 guys go around Brooklyn in search of the funeral parlor where their friend has been taken for services following his sudden death.

Getting lost along the way, they enter into a series of ridiculous adventures. While Godfrey Cambridge steals the show in his brief role as a taxi cab driver involved in an accident with the four guys, he uses some Yiddish words which will not be repeated here.

The funeral scene with the Rabbi, as played by Alan King, was ridiculous. To me, King's character mocked the very existence of Jewish funerals and was a definite affront to all. By the way, didn't it seem peculiar to the guys that they didn't recognize anyone at the funeral, before making their startling discovery at the end of the service?

The Joseph Wiseman character was much more serious in nature in this comic farce.
