Instant Favorite.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

So... I seen the American remake of this years ago, and I think its exactly the same film somehow?

I found Death at a Funeral on Netflix. What a delightful discovery. Starting slowly & somewhat stilted the plot gradually builds as family & friends gather to mourn. A stuffy facade is gradually lifted as a series of events unfold. and the transformation is brilliantly executed by this fabulous cast.I found myself laughing out loud. I rarely do this.A must see gem.

Reviewed July 2011What are the odds at watching two movies involving midgets in pivotal roles back to back? To my experience British comedies have been excellent in the 2000s. Death at a Funeral is almost a classic comedy baring a few misfires. The entire story takes place during a funeral ceremony where the eccentric family members and the friends deal with a dark secret of the deceased. It has an extensive use of pot and poo jokes as the latter was a bit disgusting and out of place for the setting. Performances were apt and subtle by most even while expressing their eccentric best and the story never lags. Special mention should go to Alan Tudyk who gets accidentally drugged with a hallucinogenic pill. It is definitely an enjoyable comedy with quite a few very awkward moments and a heart in the right place.

Amazingly funny British comedy about funeral that went wrong in so many ways. The funeral spiced with romance, hallucinatory drugs, dark secrets, unrealized desires and some classic blackmailing when the family has to come together and confront with each other. As mysteriously guest is threatening to reveal the skeletons in the closet, family members are pushed to the limit, and a little beyond. I usually don't like British movie but this one was just amazing. there's something about people "in high" that makes you just laugh even if they don't say anything. The British are experts in black humor movies, and that's what you see in this movie. Both amusing and embarrassing . the casting was great. the script was funny and unexpected. The speech at the last scene was exciting.very funny movie Highly recommended !!
