Clever, wily black comedy

"All I wanted to do today was to give my father a dignified send-off. Is that really so much to ask?"

Only the English filmmaking industry could successfully employ the concept of a sombre funeral service as a foundation on which to construct an eccentric black comedy. A clever, lively creation, 2007's Death at a Funeral is the latest comedy to be helmed by American director Frank "... read more

A highly entertaining dark comedy!

A dysfunctional British family attends a funeral, where secrets are revealed and hilarious chaos ensues!

Let me just start by saying this: If you aren't into dry humor or dark humor, you will most likely dislike this movie a lot. I happen to love both, so I highly enjoyed it. Like a lot of dark comedies out there, or should I say most out there, the plot has death ensuing all the ch... read more

A comedy of errors

The BBC website describes 'Death At A Funeral' as a desperate bid to marry a Richard Curtis comedy of middle-class manners with the taste-free gross-out style of the Farrelly Brothers. I can't say I really like those directors, but I can say I enjoyed this. Any film that can combine midget wrestling, hallucinogenic drugs and scatology at a funeral and still retain some class deserves some praise. ... read more

Description: Though it doesn't hit the same comic heights as Bowfinger, Death at a Funeral is a fun little romp. Granted, not all of the characters are meant to be humorous, like Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen, Pride & Prejudice) and his wife, Jane (Keeley Hawes, Tristram Shandy), straight-faced foils for the more over-the-top performers. After Dan ... (more)

"13/1 There's one big problem with this dry British comedy: All it's jokes are a bit flat. I guess it thinks that it's dark and hence feels the need to not go all-out on some of the material, but the result becomes needlessly PG due to this. People take psychedelic drugs by accident and the most they do is walk around naked or talk to the walls. The blackmail-plot is the only actually funny thing on display here, and the resolution to that is dull. As is the whole film, really. I don't honestl"

"First viewing - Jan. 21st Review by PvtCaboose91 Recommended by jaytoast As the above review also notes, a strong cast & excellent script work well together to make this film memorable despite the cliches on hand. I personally really enjoyed it & would definitely watch it again. Thanks to jaytoast for the recommendation! Just a thought: Peter Dinklage is a better actor than he seems to get credit for. Currently streaming on Netflix"

"Originally I thought I'm about to watch a remake of this movie, but it appeared to be the original, so yeah... Well, it's british and british movies are just british. A mix of boring and black comedy. I felt like I wasted my time. ~..~ "
