The Pallbearer 1996 PG-13, 94 min.
Genre: Comedy / Romance
Director: Matt Reeves
Cast: David Schwimmer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Barbara Hershey, Michael Rapaport, Toni Collette, Michael Vartan, Carol Kane, Bitty Schram, Jean De Baer
"The Graduate" was an excellent film; "The Pallbearer" uses its theme–a young man caught between the wiles of two women. While not on a par with the pevious film it is still fun to watch. The plot revolves around Tom Thompson's (David Schwimmer) recruitment as eulogizer and pallbearer for a friend he cannot remember. Thompson is a college graduate who still lives with his mother and is having affairs with two women: the young, beautiful Julie DeMarco (Gwyneth Paltrow) and a jealous older woman, Mrs. Abernathy (Barbara Hershey).
