Watch Death at a Funeral For Free

Really Surprised!

best movie i've ever seen.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Reviews are being over critical. Was entertaining and a good laugh. Would have gotten better reviews if not a remake. I liked both but have to give the nod to the first one as the original.

3 years after the solid Death at a Funeral, an entertaining British comedy, for some reason it was remade in America with the same screenwriter, the same jokes, the same characters and even the same actor playing the dwarf. The tale of bizarre revelations and utter chaos at a funeral was made for British humour without a doubt. The jokes and characters are Americanized here and it doesn't work at all. The performances are fine and Peter Dinklage is still excellent in his role, but this remake is not only incredibly lazy and far too faithful, it's also exhausting and gets the tone completely wrong and while it's occasionally amusing, it's a lot less funny than the original. The film could have worked with different jokes and the decision to copy every single gag from the original makes this a very irritating viewing experience. It's not very funny in the end and although the cast assembled is pretty impressive, they're all miscast since the script and story-line don't really suit them. This is how not to do a remake, and since this was only 3 years after the first one it's honestly difficult to see why this even got made.4/10

This film is a remake of the 2007 British version. The difference is that the original version I can put it in the top 10 of the best comedies I seen but this one could not even be in top 1000. It's the same notion, same situation, the only thing that changed were the actors. Too bad he did not come out a little better considering that some big names of comedy could be seen but even they do not have managed to somewhat save this failure. Can not be considered a quality movie when stealing an idea and not improve anything, add something different for the audience to be satisfied to have seen a better movie than the original. My opinion is that this movie was not supposed to exist.

My movie choice for this assignment is "Death at a Funeral". It is a comedy movie that was telling the story of a family who organized the funeral of their father. Aaron and his wife were not that rich so they live in their father house. Ryan was a successful writer but selfish who did not like to help financially for the expanses of the funeral of their father. For the funeral, many relatives were invited include Oscar who by mistake took a drug instead of a pill so he was embarrassing everybody in the funeral. The mayor characters in the film were Martin Lawrence as Ryan Barnes, Chris Rock as Aaron Barnes, Peter Dinklage as Frank Lovett, James Marsden as Oscar. Aaron organized the funeral of his father when his brother Ryan did not take a serious in the organization of the funeral when he comes there. It is like a funeral was an opportunity for the whole family to come see each other again. At the funeral, uninvited man Frank showed up and threatened Aaron and Ryan to give him a money or he would tell their mother about his relationship between him and their father. Aaron told Ryan to pay him but he refused to do it. Frank got mad and Ryan and Aaron tried to avoid the drama. Ryan and Aaron decided to put him in the coffin with their dad because Frank hit his head on a coffee table and lose conscience. Frank waked up in the coffin and got out and traumatized everybody in the funeral. The characters in the film were great and they played well their role. From the begging to the end of the movie, each character was well engage by presenting their role in the movie. Uncle Russell played the role of entertaining and kept the audience in the mood of laughing. In the film we can see how involving and unique each character was in his role in the movie. The lighting in the movie was great. The light in the movie reinforce the mood of the scene and create an effective visual image. Different camera angles were used in this movie to create and effective sense of visual balance between one shot and another. The camera angles created emotional attitudes in the film. For example when Aaron was delivered his message about his father at the end of the movie, I saw how the camera angle presented that emotional connection in the look of Aaron and other people.
