Death at a Funeral Reviews

A wonderful ensemble comedy that doesn't get the dues it deserves.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2021

Tudyk's comedic timing and drugged impersonations could have made the whole film, but Death at a Funeral offers a lot more laughs than just acid trips.

| Apr 10, 2020

Death At A Funeral is a perversely absurd, funny, quirky, HILARIOUS comedy. Death can be funnier than life.

| Nov 7, 2019

This movie has a surprising amount of heart, and is as funny as the American remake isn't.

Proves you can spell funeral without 'fun.' [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 16, 2011

Death at a Funeral never quite hits the farcical heights it's aiming for, but it's still got plenty going for it, thanks to an excellent cast and experienced direction.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 18, 2011

When turned loose on accessible, not altogether-insincere dark-comedy scenarios, Frank Oz understands humor at a molecular level of structure, volume and timing. An impossible last-shot stinger aside, "Death at a Funeral" is farce at its most flawless.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 25, 2010

Lazy comedy, and it's only made passable mainly by its manic cast and pace.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 17, 2010

Despite a final half hour that's full of laughs, Death takes so long getting its farce gears moving that the audience becomes comatose with anticipation of mirth that is too late in coming.

...an ingratiating bit of energetic silliness that'll surely delight fans of British comedy...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 4, 2010

Death be not proud, but it sure be funny in this deliciously dark comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 9, 2009

Who knew the man behind Miss Piggy (literally) did English humor so well?

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 23, 2008

Oz goes back to the well and taps into British humor, which has been so influential over the years for him, going back to The Muppet Show" in the 70s

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 17, 2008

It's no classic, but it did prompt me to watch those great old Ealing Alec Guinness comedies again.

| Mar 4, 2008

This Funeral won't leave audiences in a mournful state.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 26, 2008

Dispiriting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 11, 2008

A fine British cast is wasted on feeble material.

| Nov 17, 2007

Death at a Funeral has a great cast and a suitably chaotic plot but it's never quite as funny as it thinks it is.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2007

In the end the knockabout humour totally destroys the glimmers of spiteful sophistication which would have made it much funnier.
