Review of Death at a Funeral (2007) by Tim B — 11 Jul 2012
British humor is very much hit or miss for me and this is one of those misses. It's all about the death of a patriarch that brings his friends and other contacts together in a goofy, mismatched farce. Slow beginning big time but if you absolutely love British humor, well, it might be worth it.
I watched this one for close to an hour simply because it didn't require my full attention and I was surfing the Web. I know some people out there think you have to give 100% to a movie to properly grade it but that's a lot of rubbish and just goes to show some people cannot multitask, especially when watching a film that is average or lower.
Peter Dinklage has a supporting role in this but he isn't anything like his Tyrion character so don't go in with expectations.
The budget was $9M and it made a bit over $46M at the Box Office.
STORY/PLOTTING/EDITING: B minus; HUMOR: C minus; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B minus; WHEN WATCHED: mid July 2012; OVERALL GRADE: C plus.
