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 chaos and hilarious mishaps. With The Big Nothing, The Big White, and Very Bad Things being a few to point out. I personally can't get enough dark humor movies, and really wish there were more to be honest.
Death At A Funeral has a very basic premise, with a family attending a funeral of a relative, and a lot of things going wrong. The funniest thing involves a small man that nobody seems to know, which I will not go into detail about (spoilers of course).
The comedic material used in this movie is pretty similar to that of The Office UK, or the US version for that matter. It takes awhile to get used to, but when it sinks in, it sure is great.
When your talking about characters in film, you want something to remember, and Death at a funeral brings that to the table big time. There are certain characters that will annoy you a lot, and other characters that you will never forget. It has a great mix.
Once this movie really begins to unfold, it's difficult not to enjoy. It's a very good dark comedy, and most likely will be on my shelves once I get the chance.
Give this film a try!
