Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: The latest comedy from director Frank Oz, Death at a Funeral unusually sets a funeral at the heart of a film that’s trying to generate laughs. It does prove to be quite a hurdle, but it’s to the credit of those involved that the film proves to be a worthwhile and diverting way to spend an hour and a half.
Starring Rupert Graves, Matthew MacFadyen and Peter Egan among a talented ensemble cast, Death at a Funeral ticks most of the boxes you’d expect of its concept, but does throw in a few twists of its own, too. There are family secrets, mix-ups, battling characters and the funeral itself to deal with, and Oz proves skilful at marrying the threads together.
Death at a Funeral manages to generate a good few laughs on the way to its fine ending, but it does have its problems. There are perhaps one too many contrivances to put up with, and the script doesn’t really do the director and his cast too many favours. In spite of its slight running time, it also manages to feel a little too long.
But Death at a Funeral is still, despite these problems, a perfectly competent British comedy, and a useful way to fill a night in. Don’t expect a masterpiece, and chances are you’ll have some fun with it. --Jon Foster

This was on my Christmas wish list and unfortunately I was actually given it! What an absolute pile of utter trash. Appallingly researched, utterly tasteless and not even vaguely humorous. Don't even be tempted if you find this at a boot sale for 5p - it ain't worth the cost of electricity to play the wretched thing!

You may laugh a lot you may laugh a little it doesn't matter this is a must for all fans of brit flicks.
I watched it for it's entertainment value and the fact that alan tudyk starred in it portraying a brit since he really shined in 'a knights tale' with heath ledger he is sure to become a household name in the future (watch this space).
I enjoy a film 10 times more if you get the feeling that the cast really enjoyed making this film with eachother which clearly comes across here.
What seems like a normal family funeral soon goes awry with the arrival of a short unwelcome guest and accidental drug usage takes place how will they all come together so that daniel can read his uledgy at last.
I gave it 4 stars purely because ... Read More:

What can go wrong at a funeral? Seemingly everything, as this extremely funny dark comedy will show you. I didn't expect much, despite the positive buzz, but English director Frank Oz surprised me. Give "Death at a funeral" a chance, this bizarre film will make you laugh :)

It starts out nice, with a decent (albeit unoriginal) plot, dedicated actors and fair direction. There are problems both with the script and the execution, however. "Death at a funeral" sets out to be your standard British comedy, with intricacies and comic plots like improper nudity, irritating relatives and poo in somebody's face. Sounds promising, doesn't it. Moving on to the story lines, there's plenty of potential: a funeral, love, drugs that make people "funny", a gay midget with naughty photographs, not to mention the old coot in a wheelchair who needs help to reach the toilet. So with all this; all these potentially funny story lines, and good actors too... why doesn't it work? Well, it just doesn't. It falls short in several areas.

This was without a doubt, the most awful, cringe-worthy, unsuccessful attempt at comedy I've ever had the misfortune of having to sit through. The jokes were predictable and unfunny, the plot was non-existant, and despite trying its very best to be a comical farse, it ended up just being pathetic. I felt sorry for the actors who had put their names to it. It was absolutely dire
