The farce of Death at a Funeral owes half of its success to Dean Craig's simple but infallible script and the other half to the efforts of its cast. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 11, 2024

The only realistic thing here is the funeral because this cadaver arrived at the multiplex already in an advanced state of rigor mortis on the edge of putrefaction. [Full review in Spanish]

Most likely to satisfy those unfamiliar with the vastly superior 2006 original and/or those who simply embrace all things Chris Rock or Martin Lawrence.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 5, 2020

The result is as uneven as the original, albeit in different places:the drug stuff is hilarious; the toilet humour just yucky.

It's not a great movie, but far exceeds expectation and remains very true to the original film but with a clever African-American slant (which may actually make it even funnier).

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 11, 2017

It remains a mystery to me how a street-smart, wise-cracking comic of Chris Rock's pedigree failed to see the laughter limitations of this remake of Frank Oz's British film, which was equally uninspiring.

While it isn't a shot-for-shot replica, certainly no one can accuse Hollywood of dumbing things down here.

What we end up with here is the most pointless remake since Gus Van Sant made his shot-for-shot remake of "Psycho" back in 1998.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 1, 2012

A funny film, but it's not one that I found myself growing passionate about as I watched.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 4, 2012

If the film is so close to the original as to also be pretty much disposable once its over, at least it as well serves up a healthy amount of laughs during its very brief and brisk run time.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2011

A little more tweaking for the actual actor's voices to come through, instead of trying to put them into pre-concieved places, may have worked better, but on the whole, it's still an excellent example of how the ensemble comedy should work.

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

The only scene in which the audience noticeably reacted to the film's efforts to extract some belly laughs came in the depressingly derivative poo jokes.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2011

...a perfectly watchable piece of work...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 19, 2010

It's almost a checklist of things I don't like, but it won me over in its opening minutes and never let go.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 15, 2010

The component that stayed mostly the same is the writing, which is bad news to me, since my main beef with the original movie was exactly that.

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

What will creatively-bankrupt Hollywood think of next?

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 6, 2010

Cinema.com: Post-mortem grossout, bawdy bereavement, laugh-out-lewd feces fun and games, and a little gay dwarf tossing as a served up side order of midget mockery. Not a movie to die for."

The crackerjack ensemble of actors milks each moment like old vaudeville pros.
