The Six Wives of Henry Lefay 2009

    A salesman has been married five or six times, depends on your counting and twice to the same wife.  Many times his daughter Barbie needs to step in to patch, repair and pick up the pieces.  Henry is vacationing in Mexico with a woman who is not his wife even though he is currently married.  He is killed in a para-sailing accident and everything gets complicated.  Once again, it's up to  Barbie to step in and keep the funeral honorable and dignified without too much craziness!!

    So many mix-ups, so much arguing, fighting, jealousy, crying, anxiety!!  There are parts that are funny but this seems weak and lukewarm.  2* (This movie is OK)
