Title: Death at a funeral
Post by: janaage on Thursday, February 21, 2008, 14:08:35
Anyone seen it?  Saw it last weekend, not sure when it was made, but I would recommend watching it, British comedy, pretty good!

I thought it was "OK", a few good gags but nothing special.

Yeah. I've seen it. It's ok, definitely worth a watch. Tries a bit too hard on the Britishness, which I'm guessing is for the Americans. And it rinses the same pill based plot device a few too many times. But yeah. ramblings aside it's not bad.

Worst americanism in it (for a British film) was when the Priest/vicar called the coffin a casket!  

I'm not saying it's a great film, I just found it entertaining and funny, worth a viewing.

Like Ben said also the overly exaggerated British accents where quite suspect and grated a bit at times.

Still worth a watch though, decent enough light family humour with a few giggles, like at the very beginning when they bought the wrong coffin.

I was just reading the back of the box for this at work. Sounded a bit wank if I'm honest. Might give it a go though now you've mentioned it.
