Death at a Funeral
Death at a Funeral- A 2007 British comedy about a disfunctional family gathering for a funeral. Comedy insues, partly due to mislabeled drugs, and partly due to none of the family knowing the deceased quite as well as they thought they did.
Matthew Macfadyen stars as Daniel, the son of the deceased, who is living under the shadow of his successful novelist brother, Robert, played by Rupert Graves. Although the family is trying to be proper and respectful, everyone seems to have something to hide, and when drugs are accidentally released into the mix, everyone's secrets and frustrations come boiling to the surface, along with some terrible puns, hysterical scenarios, great acting, and even a bit of danger.
I have not seen the American remake, as the trailers didn't appeal to me, but when I happened to see a trailer for this version I was laughing so hard I had to go find it right away. I don't know how it stacks up, but if you have any taste at all for good, wry, British humor, this is brilliant.
