Product: Death At A Funeral [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 4.0
Pretty good British humour
This isn't the best or funniest British film I've ever seen but it's not at all bad. I found myself laughing out loud more than I expected. The contrast between the proper, upper crust mourners at a solemn event in the gorgous country house and the outrageous events that follow is what makes this funny.The cast is uniformly good, breathing real life and vitality into what could be stock characters. I got a kick out of the cranky old guy in the wheelchair, waving his stick around and screaming at everyone. There's nothing original about that character but it was so well done that he cracked me up every time. And the fellow who ingested acid by mistake was very good in a role that could have been simply silly. I was a little concerned about casting a little person in the role of the bad guy but without giving too much away, I realized that the plot called for someone small, later on.Not everyone will find this hilarious but for those who appreciate British humour this should be entertaining.
