1:24 | Uploaded on Feb 03, 2017

In this clip from The Last Word, Harriet (Shirley MacLaine), who has asked a young writer named Anne (Amanda Seyfried) to write her obituary, shows up at Anne’s door late at night carrying newspapers with obituaries from all over the country. Obviously unhappy with the job Anne has done, she asks Anne to read them to see what other obituary writers are doing. Anne claims she was just writing about Harriet’s life, but Harriet argues that she has missed the four essential elements of any obituary.
 
The Last Word opens in select theatres March 10, 2017.
