An old fashioned farce with a great ensemble cast of largely British talent (and two ladies I've fancied for years, Keeley Hawes and Daisy Donovan) Death at a Funeral is a sitcom writ large on the big screen.

There are some genuinely laugh out loud moments, some wry smiles and some laboured patches too but on the whole it's the spirited and capable players that keep this on track under Frank Oz's simple and somewhat bland direction. Oz may have made one of the lightest and fun comedies with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels but I can't help feeling a British director may have had a better grasp and brought more of an edge and urgency to the material.

An utterly pointless American remake occurred just three years later featuring a largely black cast.

This just proves that Alan Tudyk is even funnier when he's on acid.

a brilliant movie with laugh out loud funny moments and awesome amount of fun.
The script is cleverly written and the subdued chaos makes this movie a treat to watch. I recommend this brilliant comedy to everyone. Brits know how to make a number of people work together and all of them click.
The cast is awesome with McFayden doing his job strongly as the ship's captain and brining it to shore with safely.

It's been a while since there was a comedy that made me yell with laughter. Witnessing this funeral did the trick though.

Mostly amusing film that doesn't overstay its welcome. And while humour is subjective - and this one didn't particularly tickle my funny bone - you have to respect how morbid they made this whole affair. And Peter Dinklage is great as always.

"Death At A Funeral has all the set-up for a tight and entertaining farcical British comedy. It's a shame then that, whilst certainly enjoyable, it never fully realises that potential." Full review here

Must-watch for fans of British Humour. Loved it!

Perfectly adequate comedy. It is not spectacular or impressive, but it produces enough laughs. The acting and the script are pretty good. No one is outstanding but at least not in the bad way. Alan Tudyk does play a nervous man drugged up accidentally by his finace, which I guess provides for a good deal of the comedy.

Vaguely entertaining Britcom. A few laughs, but much of it was too obvious and puerile. Good performances, though.

A shot for shot original of the US version that starred Chris Rock. It's still watchable with some laughs just not hilarious.

"Would you like a cup of tea, Sandra?"
"Tea can do many things, Jane, but it can't bring back the dead."

From the awesome opening credits sequence to the final line, I was taken in by this dark comedy, which would be remade a few years later for no reason I can imagine. It's been a while since I've watched a comedy that made me laugh this much, and for it to have heart, for it to wrap up with an emotional speech and a brotherly connection, these are just bonus points in my book. Alan Tudyk is hilarious, Peter Dinklage is great in what little time he has, but all of the players here have their moments. Highly recommend.

It's a harmless British comedy movie. Not one of the top, but I like the idea.

One of the greatest comedies of all time and great performances all around. Never knew before this film that Yoda directed as well. Will check out the American remake and see how that compares to this gem.
