Review of Death at a Funeral (2007) by Matt K — 22 Apr 2018

Death at a Funeral.

Directed By: Frank Oz.

Starring: Matthew Macfadyen, Peter Dinklage and Ewen Bremner.

Plot: Daniel is a decent young man, married to Jane, still living at his father's home. When his father dies, it is up to him to organize his funeral. On this painful morning, the suitable grave expression on his face, Daniel is ready to welcome his father's friends and relatives. But preserving the dignity inherent in such circumstances will be a hard task. Particularly with an undertaker who botches his work, the return from the USA of his famous but selfish brother, his cousin's fiancé who has accidentally ingested drugs, the presence a moron who takes advantage of the sad event to win back the heart (or rather the body) of a woman who is about to marry another, of a handicapped old uncle who is also the most unbearable pain in the neck. To cap it all, Daniel notices the presence among the mourners of a mysterious dwarf nobody else seems to know...

Review: This is the British version and original version of this film. This is a fantastic comedy sometime dark humor but still hilarious. Peter Dinklage is the only character in both versions of this film and he steals the show as he does in everything he is in. You must watch this version even if you don't like British films it's just that good of a film.

Rating: 8/10.

Recommendation: Buy, Buy, Buy I think you would want to watch this film over and over again but you can rent it at Bronco Video or anywhere you can rent movies. It is also available to watch on Netflix.
