‘The Estate’ Review: Toni Collette And Anna Faris Scheme In Outrageously Tasteless (But Funny) Farce
05.11.2022 - 03:43 / deadline.com
You may hate yourself in the morning, but if you are in the mood for a completely un-PC, morbidly amusing farce about the need for greed, the new comedy The Estate may be right up your alley.
Quite frankly if you know the work of its writer/director Dean Craig, the British filmmaker best known for both English and American remake versions of the over-the-top farce Death At A Funeral, as well as his directing debut Love Wedding Repeat, you will know what you are in for. Subtle comic wit and three dimensional human beings are not his specialty. Neither is restraint. The Estate, shot in New Orleans, will not disappoint, and in fact his penchant for completely politically incorrect situations and comedy is – so sue me – something of a tonic in the increasingly woke obsessed world in which we find ourselves. It has, as the ad line for the dark 1960’s farce The Loved One (which had to be an inspiration for Craig’s comedic brand) says, “There is something to offend everyone”. So I laughed out loud. Again, sue me.
What gave me hope here was the sterling ensemble cast Craig has managed to assemble. You figure if Toni Collette, Anna Faris, David Duchovny, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston, and above all, the irresistible Kathleen Turner in a killer comic turn as an insufferable dying aunt who may be holding all the cards here, there has to be some redeemable value to all this. Basically it is just a hoot watching them all swing for the fences and score laughs at everyone’s expense.
The premise isn’t terribly original. Movies like Daddy’s Dyin’: Who’s Got The Will? have mined this kind of thing before, but Craig goes for broke, unafraid to prove too much is never too much.

He’s the director of films such as “Stripes,” “Ghostbusters,” “Twins,” and “Kindergarten Cop.” But according to actress Anna Faris, it’s his actions during the production of one of his later films that felt like she was working under a “reign of terror.” Speaking on her Anna Faris is Unqualified podcast (via Deadline), Anna Faris spoke with Lena Dunham and opened up about her experience during the shoot of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend.” Apparently, while filming the 2006 movie, Ivan Reitman not only “yelled” at her but she also claims he “slapped my ass,” which left her feeling “angry, hurt, and humiliated.” READ MORE: R.I.P.
