Rating: 5.0
When did a funeral become so hilarious?
Haven't thought of a funeral could be so funny and make me laughing and bending over to the next empty seat.The British do know how to make a good comedy. Death at a Funeral managed to turn a sad occasion upside down while at the same time revealed all the dirty laundry and dark secrets of the main characters that made them interesting. Characters like a self-centred prick who preferred to spend his money on a first class ticket instead of his father's funeral, an uptight lawyer fell prey to hullucination drugs, an arrogant doctor who thought the whole world couldn't match up with him. These are just some of the interesting people you will meet at this funeral.Some of the plots were a bit predictable - basically you know what is coming around the corner. However, it was the way they wrote it and made it that made the film so enjoyable. All the subtleness that revealed just enough comic moments to keep you going and going. There was a bit of physical comedy elements like their American counterparts, but it is the well written British humour that shaped the movie which could easily make it a classic. Some of the topics they touched on were not new, e.g. homosexuality and drugs, but the modern touch up did make it look more refreshing.I will highly recommend it if you want an relaxing evening out for a good laugh. I think the British did it again :)
