Death At A Funeral (2010)

Last night I went and saw a preview screening of the movie Death At A Funeral, a remake of the 2007 movie of the same name.

The Story centres around Aaron (played by Chris Rock) and his family who come together after the father of the family passes away. The family is the usual kind of thing, the brother who has done well, the crazy uncle and so on. Everyone is trying to be civil with each other (even though they really don't like each other) but the day kicks off to a shoddy start with the undertakers making an awful mistake...and then things get a whole lot worse when a mysterious dwarf that nobody seems to know has some devastating news...

The movie is great fun, funnier that I thought it would be and it has a great cast with stars like Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Danny Glover, James Marsden, and Peter Dinklage (who reprises his role from the original). The humour is quite in your face, and I enjoyed every minute....oh and seeing what happens to Danny Glover's character in the end is priceless!

It's difficult to say which version is better, it really does depend on what you want...they are both funny movies but if you want subtle humour then go see the original, but if you like in your face humour then you should really enjoy this movie.

Death At A Funeral (2010) is rated 15 and released 4th June
