Editorial Reviews

This nutty British comedy observes with jet-black humor the myriad outrageous calamities that befall an eccentric English clan with more than a few skeletons in its closets when its patriarch dies an unexpected death. Soon, every complication imaginable -- including the wrong corpse in the coffin, the accidental consumption of hallucinogenic drugs, and the disclosure of the deceased's closeted homosexuality -- befall the grief-stricken mourners. The funeral commences at the family estate, with the arrival of younger son Daniel (Matthew MacFadyen), who has long felt uncomfortable around his cocky, licentious novelist brother, Robert (Rupert Graves) -- and thus dreads seeing him. Meanwhile, Daniel is also struggling to adhere to promises he's made to his wife (Keeley Hawes). Also arriving at the house are cousin Martha (Daisy Donovan) and her intended, Simon (Alan Tudyk), who embarrasses just about everybody, including himself, by accidentally consuming a strange drug that inflicts him with wild delusions and gives him an uncontrollable penchant for exhibitionism. But the event that truly turns the family members onto their ears is the arrival of a dwarf (Peter Dinklage) who speaks openly of the patriarch's secret passions, which included dressing up in a kinky gladiator outfit and watching young men skinny-dip. Frank Oz (In & Out, Bowfinger) helmed the film, while Dean Craig authored the script. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

Funniest Film I have seen to dateby Anonymous

May 22, 2009: I rented this movie because I enjoy British films and the storyline caught my eye. Im so thankful my husband just rolls with my choices on movies, although he usually enjoy them. Im sure he was thinking, hmmm another interesting film. Needless to say, it didn't fail us as a comedy at all. My husband and I laughed so hard, over and over through out the film. We still randomly laugh over it when it pops in our heads. It was a brillant piece. Every shot was filmed wonderfully and the actors were amazing, especially Alan Tudyk. The screenwriter really pulls you in and makes you feel as though you are there. We loved this film and are adding it to our library.

I Also Recommend: Love Actually, The Matchmaker, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Waking Ned Devine.

March 28, 2009: Who wouldn't expect a funeral to focus on death? But death AT a funeral? That's the title, and that's what happens. Or is it? This unpredictable, well-scripted, well-acted comedy is exactly what you should see if you like to laugh. And who doesn't?
