Last Flag Flying

After a widowed Naval exchange stocking clerk (Steve Carell) learns that his only son died while serving in Iraq in this touching, captivating, well-acted, quirky, unevenly paced, witty, 124-minute sequel to The Last Detail, the former Navy medic finds his two Vietnam Marine buddies, a heavy-drinking Virginia bar owner (Bryan Cranston) and a married Baptist preacher (Laurence Fishburne) in 2003, and they go on one wacky detour after another when he asks them to help him bury his son in New Hampshire after ignoring the advice of a hard-nosed colonel (Yul Vazquez) to bury him at Arlington Cemetery and accepting the help of his son's friend (J. Quinton Johnson) who was with him when he died.
