The Pallbearer

Ok, so this is a movie I recently watched and I absolutely LOVED!  

The Pallbearer is a 1996 film starring David Schwimmer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette , Michael Vartan, Michael Rapaport and Barbara Hershey.
[edit]Plot

The Pallbearer is a dark comedy about Tom Thompson (David Schwimmer), a 25 year old man who sleeps in a bunk bed and lives with his mother. One day Tom is contacted by an old high school classmate's mother, Ruth Abernathy (Barbara Hershey), to tell him that his "best friend," Bill Abernathy, committed suicide, and is asked to give a eulogy at the funeral. Tom does not remember her son, but out of sympathy attends the funeral as a pallbearer and accidentally begins a relationship with Bill's needy mother. While Tom struggles to remember her son, the two develop a romance. Meanwhile, Tom's unrequited high school crush (Gwyneth Paltrow) re-enters his life.
