Aaron is approached by an unknown guest named Frank, who reveals himself to be the secret lover of his late father.

Family friend Norman enters the room, giving Frank several doses of what he also believes is Valium to try to calm him down.

While Aaron awkwardly tries to give his speech, Frank starts banging on the coffin, then suddenly forces it open and emerges.

Aaron yells for everyone's attention as he delivers an impromptu and moving eulogy, saying that his father was a good man with flaws like everyone else.

The site's critical consensus reads, "It's amusing and it assembles a talented cast, but Neil LaBute's surprisingly faithful remake of the 2007 Frank Oz dramedy ultimately falls short of the original.
