The Pallbearer

David Schwimmer attempted to develop his TV Friends persona with this movie, but instead ended up playing a more annoying version of his well-known character, Ross. He stars as an unemployed graduate who is asked to be a pallbearer at the funeral of a schoolfriend he doesn't remember by the deceased's mother (Barbara Hershey). You can see the young-man-older-woman Graduate-style seduction coming a mile off, and Schwimmer is so whiny about it all you find it hard to imagine that any mature woman would be attracted to him. It's only worth enduring for the performances of the luminous Gwyneth Paltrow (as Schwimmer's high-school crush) and the talented Michael Rapaport.
