Death at a Funeral.

[metirish]

Family patriarch dies and as family and friends gather at his home for the funeral high jinks ensue in this dark Brit comedy.

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard during a movie , this is a riot.

I saw this in the theater last summer. It was uneven in places, but it definitely had its moments.

I would have given it 7 on a scale of 1-10.

I saw it in the theaters last year. Very funny indeed. I also would've given it seven but rounded it up to four stars because I'm feeling generous today.

Finally rented it. Very clever. Those crazy Brits and Paul McCartney's old flame, Jane Asher.

Didn't get through it. Cliches, man.

Funny but uneven. I generally like Frank Oz, though.

Was at the movies this past weekend (Up in the Air) and saw a preview for a remake of this with Chris Rock and a mostly black cast.

WTF?

Is this the quickest a movie has ever been remade when it was in English in the first place? Plus, Peter Dinklage plays the midget in both movies. Isn't there a second midget actor?

Now I'm concerned that people will see the remake and foul up the scientific research that made this poll.

The last time Chris Rock went shopping for ideas to steal in Europe (and this movie is only kind of European), he came home with I Think i Love My Wife --- a bomb whose fallout is still raining down on his career.

Ouch....a terrible idea to remake "Death at a Funeral"
