ThiefHott Too much of everything
Wordiezett So much average
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Mihai Toma A family reunion at a father's funeral is going to turn very nasty as everyone holds a secret who's unveiling will leave deep marks on the others.It's a comedy which besides having a good idea and being very funny provides nothing else than a big disappointment. You see, everything has its limits and when you break them (especially as often as this movie does) you end up with a cavalcade of awkward, stupid and unnecessary situations. It starts very promising and funny but that's about it, degenerating rapidly into scenes and characters which shouldn't have been there, all ending up as exaggerated as it can be. I really was expecting more but hey, there's always a better movie waiting to be seen.
gusy98 they could not have copied the 2007 movie more if they tried! The script was even the same!Why they released this film, I do not know, but it is not worth watching, unless you haven't seen the other film!you need to watch the original as it is better! and was not copied!This film is the same, but with different actors!DO not watch unless you have seen the first oneDon't watch don't watchit is not worth itDO NOT WATCH DO NOT WATCH It is not worth your time
Tss5078 Death At A Funeral is a remake of a 2007 British comedy by the same name, and is usually not the type of film I go for. For starters, I hate Chris Rock, and I really couldn't see a film about a funeral being all that funny. The previews were a riot and I love Martin Lawrence, so I decide to give it a try and was once again was taught that you can't judge a book by it's cover. This film turned out to be one of the funniest I've seen in a long time. It's a solemn day for Aaron and Brian, as they prepare to lay their father to rest. They expect it to be a small, simple ceremony, but they are soon reminded of why their family only gets together at weddings and funerals. A series of unbelievable and hysterical events keep disrupting the service, which include, but are not limited to, a gay midget, a guest tripping on acid, and a crotchety old man that really has to poop. I'm not surprised that I liked this film as much as I did, but I was surprised by the reasons why I liked it. You'd think an R rated film staring Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence would be raunchy as hell and way over the top, and it was, but not because of either of them. Rock and Lawrence were actually fairly toned down in this film and it was the large cast of supporting characters who really make the film. Danny Glover is amazing as Uncle Russell, an old timer who hates everyone and isn't afraid to run his mouth. James Marsden is equally as good, as the hated white boy friend, who takes what he thinks is Valium to calm down before the service. Death At A Funeral is absolutely hysterical and full of non-stop ridiculousness, if this film doesn't make you laugh, there is most definitely something wrong with you.
adi_2002 This film is a remake of the 2007 British version. The difference is that the original version I can put it in the top 10 of the best comedies I seen but this one could not even be in top 1000. It's the same notion, same situation, the only thing that changed were the actors. Too bad he did not come out a little better considering that some big names of comedy could be seen but even they do not have managed to somewhat save this failure. Can not be considered a quality movie when stealing an idea and not improve anything, add something different for the audience to be satisfied to have seen a better movie than the original. My opinion is that this movie was not supposed to exist.
