Movie Review: Death at the Funeral

IMDB: Death at the Funeral (2007)


British comedy at its satirical best. The seriousness of a man's death and his cremation is blown out of proportions and his sons are left to rue their bad luck at all the goof ups at their place.


If you are in a groggy mood or feeling awesome this movie is guaranteed to leave you in stitches. The subtle puns, the plot, the random 'mis'adventures of the family and guests create some memorable scenes in the movie.


A midget, hallucinogenic drugs, homosexuality, sibling rivalry, nudity, and a funeral all come together to deliver a riotous chaotic harmony . 
The films story unfolds in the span of an afternoon and despite the short duration of plot endears us to the characters with witty and realistic dialog. What better setting than a funeral to highlight the humor and irony of life?


My rating 7/10
