Living Will... (2010)

The late Ryan Dunn (Jackass) shines in his first and only starring role before his untimely death earlier this year. After bursting a blood vessel while straining during constipation (one of my biggest fears), Belcher (Dunn) decides to stick around and haunt his best friend Will. This causes a rift between them because in death, as in life, Belcher is an asshole who makes his world a living hell. There's also a romantic subplot involving his cousin which feels cheap, but there are still plenty of genuine laughs to be found (Belcher uses his ghost abilities to look at naked chicks and trip total strangers). It's a shame this was his final role, because he shows such promise here as an actor...especially given the subject matter of the film.
