I would not hesitate
to go to a wedding,
funeral, graduation, retirement party, baby shower, ballgame, courtroom, birthday party, family reunion, public hearing,
town parade, school play, or other social function due
to the presence or lack of a 1 - 2 minute prayer from a pastor, priest, rabbi, imam, valedictorian, mayor, police chief, council member, or 3rd grader who will play the Tree in the school spring play, nor would I feel it appropriate or necessary
to make a social scene just so everyone could hear my opinion on the matter.
While his son's body is flown back from Iraq, a mild - mannered PX clerk (Steve Carell)
goes looking for two friends he hasn't seen since the days of the Vietnam War
to invite them
to the
funeral; one (Laurence Fishburne) has become a small -
town pastor, while the other (Bryan Cranston) has kept up his hard - drinking, shit - talking ways into grizzled middle age.
