Death at a Funeral

“Death at a Funeral” is very funny if the people viewing this movie with me are any gauge. I have to explain that I don’t usually go to comedies because I rarely find them funny. I had hoped that this movie would be quirky and clever, and although a naked man under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug and a blackmailing little person are unusual, quarreling brothers, a foul-mouthed octogenarian, a hypochondriac, and a lot of slapstick aren’t. But if you like physical comedy, bathroom humor, and a naked man wandering in and out of various scenes, then “Death at a Funeral” is pretty funny stuff. (8/21/07)
