Product: Death At A Funeral [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 5.0
Great British comedy, but not for everyone
I thought this was a fabulously hilarious film! It is a quintessential British comedy, and I laughed from beginning to end. The cast is amazing and each person adds their own wonderful dynamic to this dysfunctional family. After reading some negative reviews, I think it is important to remind people that just because it is a comedy doesn't mean it will be universally liked. I know many Americans who do not appreciate British humor and it is important to recognize, before watching the film, that the humor may not be what you are used to in America. For example, any fan of the US version of the Office should watch the original UK version. Though some elements are very similar, such as the stapler in the jell-o bit, there are also obvious differences. Maybe British humor is not your thing, and if that's the case then I might steer clear of this movie.I think it is also important to realize that the film is rated R. For those who are offended by the language, drug use, and very brief nudity...what did you not understand by "Rated R for language and drug content?" If you are highly offended by swearing, namely the "f-word," then don't watch. It's that simple.But if you love to laugh, are not offended by some profanity, and enjoy slapstick comedy, then this film is for you!
