Plot Summary
This nutty British comedy observes with jet black humor the myriad of outrageous calamities that befall an eccentric English clan with more than a few skeletons in its closets, when its patriarch dies an unexpected death. Soon, every complication imaginable - including the wrong corpse in the coffin, the accidental consumption of hallucinogenic drugs that causes uncontrollable exhibitionism, and the disclosure of the deceased's closeted kinky homosexuality - befall the grief-stricken mourners.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Insanely funny, if occasionally out-of-control, black farce.
Fresh: Death at a Funeral may be the funniest movie ever set in such a deadly serious setting.
Fresh: It's sillier but funnier than Knocked Up, the summer's other notable comedy.
Rotten: If, like me, you ever thought the supply of British comic talent was unlimited, here's surprisingly convincing evidence to the contrary.
Customer Reviews
One of the best movies ive seen!
this was an amazing movie! it is brilliantly written. the dialogue is pricless and the actors play their parts incredible well. the situations are more than hilarious, they will make you want to hide under the covers for fear of the incredible awkward outcome. if you want a movie that will make you laugh out loud and send an ultimately brilliant message. this is the movie for you.
A delightful cacophony of laughter!
Death at a Funeral mixes witty British humor with situational comedy to create a delectable dish of laughter. It is well written, to the point, and hilarious! Definitely rent this film!
