Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Mihai Toma When Daniel's father passes away, the whole family reunites at the mansion but the whole event is going to be disturbed by a small character who doesn't have the best intentions. Add up the fact that almost everyone has a secret or a problem of his own and you get a huge mess to enjoy. Will they be able to finish the ceremony or will there be another tragedy waiting to happen?It's the exact same plot as the movie with the same name from 2010 (yes, I've seen that one first) the only difference being the location. It's slow paced as the other one in the beginning until it introduces all its characters but when the action comes in (a bit later than I hoped) you simply cannot stop laughing. They managed to create a laughable atmosphere at a grim and sad event such as a funeral, fact which makes you appreciate their talent even more. The entire plot runs in the same location, all the characters trying to figure out multiple problems at once and failing miserably, thus provoking amusement. It's a comedy so don't expect miracles in terms of story but the actors do a very good job in keeping you entertained while the events, although some expected and stereotypical, create a good overall blend. It's a very good comedy, no doubt about it, but also nothing to blow your mind.

vusang199915 At first, I didn't think that I would watch this movie as it wasn't that famous in our country. But then I want to give a try. The first part of the movie was quite boring as it mainly talks about characters and the situation. But then it got better. The scenes was amazing. Great lines, great acting. The cast really stands out. Every situation was set up amazingly and logically. British have done a great job in this and far more better than the American ver. Not like other stupid comedy films which I hardly laugh, this movie made me laugh so hard. Great plot and shocking scenes. Definitely the example of what people should watch in their weekends. Highly recommended ! And I only give it a 9 as the first part was quite confusing.

MartinHafer While I would never say that "Death at a Funeral" is a brilliant comedy, it certainly takes a simple idea and makes the most of it. It's the story of a funeral that ends up having just about every awful possible thing occur throughout its course. And, I love that just when you can't imagine it getting any worse, it does! It's the sort of thing that is great fun to watch but thank goodness it's not happening to people you know and love! Now not everyone likes a comedy like this--my wife surely would have cringed repeatedly through the course of this movie. But I loved that it only got worse and worse and worse! So what exactly occurs? I'd really rather not say--it would spoil all the fun. But it really does pay off in this clever but sick comedy.

bugandlolly Yup, I give this film a 10! I absolutely adored it. Incredibly funny, wonderfully acted, amazing cast and a simply brilliant screenplay. It is a farce but never goes over the top and I found myself laughing out loud, something I seldom do. I love, love, LOVE Peter Dinklage! I discovered him in the "Station Agent" (another excellent film that I highly recommend) and I intend to check out all his films, but the entire cast is marvelous. The story is one that easily could have devolved into slapstick but never does and the results are hilarious. This is a clever, well acted, well directed film that not only leaves you smiling but ready to watch it again and again and again because it is simply so much fun. All the characters are charming in their own way, even the villainous Dinklage, who is certainly the "dark" character but who is far less villainous, if you listen to his reasoning, than he might initially seem. How often are viewers given the chance to watch an utterly engaging comedy that portrays people as they so often are, a muddle of good qualities and not so good qualities, the stuff that makes us all human. This is a quirky, offbeat film that I would recommend to anyone in need of a good, light hearted laugh and aren't we all?
