Product: Death At A Funeral [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 5.0
My Current Favorite Comedy
This movie made me laugh until I cried. It's really zany, stupid humor. Not like Dumb and Dumber but absurd, mixed up stuff. Maybe more like, A Fish Called Wanda. This is my kind of humor, even though I had to turn the English captions on the first few times I watched it. I'm not good with British accents. A friend of mine once told me that the British find death really funny. Don't know if that's true, but this movie kind of supports that idea. Of course, part of the hilarity is that it all happens during a very serious event, a funeral, when you're not supposed to be laughing. Even though it deals with death, it's not macabre. I saw the ad for an American version coming out with a largely African American cast. Don't think the American version will be able to pull it off as well, but I'll probably check that one out, too.
