Product: Death At A Funeral [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 4.0
Dysfunctional family farce
When the father of a completely dysfunctional family dies, members of his extended family arrive to give him a dignified send off, but, with such a family, it turns into an English Drawing room farce. The oldest son,Daniel and his wife, live with the deceased and his wife and from the start, things go awry. The wrong body is in the coffin and sets the scene for all the other scenes. One of the younger family members is manufacturing and selling halucinogenic pills and unwittingly allows them to be mistaken for Valium with the expected results and one of the eldest members of the family is a cranky, bad tempered old devil who has an unfortunate episode of loss of bowel control which really made me heave! I didn't enjoy this movie as much as 4 weddings and a funeral, but the writing was excellent and the cast were first rate.
