DVD Reviews of Death at a Funeral

DVD Review: Death at a Funeral
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very funny movie! There are quite a few strong characters in this movie and some of them will have you laughing so hard. A bit slow to start in the beginning of the movie, but it is worthwhile to watch!

DVD Review: Great FUN
Summary: 5 Stars

I recommend this film to anyone who has lost their sense of humor due to family issues...Great Fun, lots of laughs. Brit humor at its best.

DVD Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars

A lot different than what I expected but still entertaining. I think the fiance on drugs (not of his doing) was a scene/concept that went on for a bit too long and was not entirely believable, but the rest of the movie was just right with its surprising twists and turns. I agree with another reviewer re: the cranky oldster in the wheelchair. Why was this stereotype needed - it didn't add to the movie. It would have been sufficient to have him only in the one scene that truly mattered with that character. That scene was So Funny (as long as it doesn't happen to you it is funny). It was also amusing to see that the British (as portrayed in this film) think a Valium is the answer to every problem. Is that the British health care system in action? One hopes not.

DVD Review: funniest movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie will make you laugh until tears run down your face.
I have shown it and recommended it to many and all that have seen it, have said it brought them to belly laughs and tears rolling down their faces.
If you need a good laugh or are depressed, you definitely should watch this one.

DVD Review: Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars

Hands down one of the funniest movies I've seen, and one that I will watch many times. I could watch it without the sound and still never stop laughing. Even the way the actors use their eyes is a riot.

Description of Death at a Funeral

From acclaimed director Frank Oz (In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) comes "a fast, furious and riotously funny farce" (Maxim) that'll have you dying with laughter!

As the mourners and guests at a British country manor struggle valiantly to "keep a stiff upper lip," a dignified ceremony devolves into a hilarious, no-holds-barred debacle of misplaced cadavers, indecent exposure, and shocking family secrets. Packed with extras including audio commentaries and an uproarious gag reel, Death at a Funeral blows the lid off the proverbial coffin as "the film's delicious comic flourishes... sight gags, slapstick, flawless timing... are served up by an outstanding cast" (O, The Oprah Magazine).

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 Daniel's father passes away, the couple offers to host the funeral, so all his relatives descend on the family abode, including Daniel's estranged brother, Robert (Rupert Graves, V for Vendetta). The mood is already tense when their cousin, Martha (Daisy Donovan), arrives with her nervous fianc?, Simon (Alan Tudyk, Serenity). On the way over, Simon takes a Valium that's actually a hallucinogenic concoction cooked up by Martha's pharmacology student brother. By the time they arrive, Simon's inhibitions are gone with the wind. Other guests include Uncle Alfie (Peter Vaughn) and an uninvited American mourner (Peter Dinklage). By the end of the movie, one of these individuals will be dead. Though he's worked in the States for several decades, director Frank Oz was born in the UK, and Death at a Funeral feels like the work of a British filmmaker. As drawing room comedies go, it may not rival Arsenic and Old Lace, but it's still funnier than most. If the film has a flaw, it's one misjudged moment of scatological humor, which is sure to induce more cringes than giggles. Fortunately, it's over quickly, and Tudyk's hilarious performance provides ample compensation. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
