Two irreverent altar boys, Andy and Charlie, play hooky after every funeral they serve at their school's chapel.

This comes into conflict when the boys are teamed with a timid, new kid who is less willing to break the rules.

The McManus Brothers were inspired by their father's stories about growing up as an altar server in Catholic school.

"[6] Mark Olsen of The Los Angeles Times said the film was "a surprisingly sweet story about a pair of Rhode Island Catholic schoolboys, played with knockabout charm by Alex Maizus and Dylan Hartigan."

"[7] Drew McWeeny of Hitfix wrote "'Funeral Kings' is confident and controlled and, with an unabashed vulgarity underscoring everything, about as pure a piece of movie memory as I can name.
