Big Shot's Funeral Movie Review 2001

American director Don Tyler (Sutherland) is on location in Beijing when he suffers a serious health crisis and winds up in the hospital. He tells cameraman YoYo (Ge) that should he die, he wants a blow-out funeral, which YoYo promises to arrange. Since he has no money, YoYo auctions off advertising and sponsorships for the funeral but then Don begins to improve. Would-be comedy has very few laughs. English and Manderin with subtitles.
