 British humor at it's Best! September 29, 2008
This possibly was the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. If you like British humor, you will enjoy this.
The language is a little too strong, therefore I would not let the kids watch it. The story line at times is
predictable but there are just as many surprises along the way.
 Best Comedy of 2007! September 19, 2008
"Death at a Funeral" was truly the greatest comedy of 2007. A film in which the acting outweighed the billing of the actors. The writing was superb, the delivery was deadpan, the casting was perfect. Every detail was so precise. The pacing was flawless, and the music was great. Rent it, watch it, try not to love it, I dare you!
Death at a Funeral September 15, 2008
I have always enjoyed British humor, but this is one of the funniest movies I have seen. Exceptional cast and great writing and directing have made this one you do not want to miss. I think most families no matter what nationality will "get" the jokes and probably be having several laughs. Imagine you are going to your fathers funeral and just about everything that can go wrong does. Sounds horrible doesn't it? Well in this case it is incredibly funny. WARNING! You will see halucinogenic drugs, the backside of naked men, and dead people. However, you will be amazed at how funny that can be. I suggest this for teens and up. Good quality DVD with basic extras and good replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Waking Ned Devine" and "Hot Fuzz".

This is soooo funny. Give it time to build up and then just laugh, laugh, laugh.

Although billed as a "comedy" this movie doesn't contain a single laugh. I guess what they meant is a "comedy of errors" where unlikely-event-follows-unlikely-event to the point of compounded absurdity. The film doesn't feel like Frank Oz either, but more like a second- (or third-)rate BBC television programme. Characters enter hysterics, stereotypes are overplayed, and everyone talks in a stage whisper. I'm giving it two stars primarily for the gorgeous chateau in which it was filmed -- I want to live there.
After I kick everyone out.
