Product: Death At A Funeral [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 5.0
Only the British .................
can turn a somber occasion into a laugh riot! Absolutely one of the funniest comedies I've seen in years. The Brits really know how to make fun of themselves and make people laugh all over the World. I laughed so uncontrollably loud, my neighbors thought I was going crazy in this Frank Oz directed movie. The ongoing "Valium" gag was the real clincher in this movie; affecting Alan Tudyk's (Firefly, 3:10 To Yuma, Knocked Up) "Simon" to Peter Vaughn's "Uncle Alfie." Peter Dinklage (In Bruges, 30 Rock, Nip/Tuck) adds fire to the Valium-induced high-jinks. Andy Nyman as Howard was uproariously funny. Bang-Bang laughs from the improbable happenings at a funeral service. Matthew MacFayden as "Daniel," the long-suffering son, trying to keep order and decorum at his Dad's funeral, was the sinking sand amongst the solid rocks in attendance. Too funny.
